When it comes to DOT compliance and risk management, doesn’t
it make sense to have someone with experience in trucking
operations on your side? What sets us apart from nearly
every other company is 25 years experience in CDL driving,
dispatch, operations and safety management. Regulations from
a manual tell you what is needed to comply. We show you how
compliance fits into your daily operation.
Let us use our experience and training to help your company
reduce concerns regarding compliance issues. We provide you
with a complete review of your DOT compliance by conducting
an on site compliance audit. We will show you the areas
where you need to direct your attention before it is too
late. And we will work with you to make the needed changes
to put your company in compliance with regulations, and to
reduce exposure to unnecessary liability claims.
Quality drivers are key to compliance and risk
management success.
A field observation of your drivers’ performances is one way
to help alert
you to potential risks and offer the time to take corrective
action before
risks become costs.
Every
company operating Commercial Motor Vehicles is required to
maintain a Driver Qualification File for each employed
driver.
Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration regulations require operators
of commercial motor vehicles to maintain specific
information on all employed drivers. Capitol Motor Carrier
Compliance will work with you to establish a file system
that meets DOT regulations. We will ensure the accuracy of
the system with subsequent follow-up sessions.
Some compliance companies want to handle all your compliance
issues for you. Capitol Motor Carrier Compliance works with
you to become self-sufficient in this area, assisting you in
your own office, and on your own terms.
Written
policies make a difference.
Capitol Motor
Carrier Compliance can help you establish clear,
easy-to-understand written policies to inform all drivers of
your company’s goals and expectations. By creating
pro-active written policies, you provide your drivers &
employees with a vision for moving your company forward and

Let us put our
experience and training
to work for your company.

Are you in
compliance?
Federal records indicate that in the year 2002 the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration issued over $1,000,000
in fines to companies in Massachusetts for not being in
compliance with
FMCSA regulations.
Answer the following questions to see if your company is
in compliance:
Do you conduct pre-employment drug testing before employing
a driver?
Do you maintain a random drug and alcohol testing program
for all applicable drivers?
Do you monitor and maintain a record of your driver’s hours
of service?
If you answered No to just one of these questions...
You are
not in compliance.
The transportation industry
has changed in recent
years. Today we operate commercial motor vehicles
in an environment where lawsuits are growing faster than
ever. That is why it is important to maintain an operation
with an eye on eliminating your exposure. By reducing your
risk you improve your rating for insurance carriers.
We will
help you...
Capitol Motor
Carrier Compliance has the
experience and ability to work with your insurance
carrier to identify potential risks and implement a
plan to improve your operation.
Do the
regulations apply to your company?
It is the responsibility of every operator of commercial
motor vehicles to know the regulations that govern
his/her operation. The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
adopted the federal regulations in November of 1986.
Therefore, even if your company does not engage in
interstate commerce, you are required to comply with
many of those same federal regulations while operating
within Massachusetts.
Even if you do not operate tractor-trailers or large trucks,
you must be knowledgeable of certain commercial
vehicle regulations. If you are in a business such as
landscaping and operate a commercial motor vehicle
with a gross vehicle rating (GVWR) or gross combination
weight rating (GCWR) of 10,001 or more pounds, you must
comply with the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.
