REGULATING TRUCKS
• Commercial vehicles over 4.5t must have a USDOT Number
• Subject to federal safety regulations.
• Officers enforce the federal rules through roadside inspections.
• 3 million inspections are performed annually.
• Companies are assigned a public safety rating (CSA score)
• Drivers must log hours of service (HOS) to comply with safety regulations.
• 80% of drivers still use the paper logbooks.
• HOS paperwork volume is the 2nd largest after tax filings. (FMCSA, 2014)
