DOT Driver Qualification Management

See Registration Form for Dates\Times

Driver Fitness BASIC/ Driver Qualification

The number 1 rule in Driver Fitness is to actually make sure the driver is QUALIFIED to operate a CMV. Then, do the paperwork (a DOT-compliant Driver Qualification file) to PROVE that they are qualified. The real purpose is to develop a DQ process to avoid hiring bad drivers who don’t follow the rules. We cover the two main requirements that define a driver qualified to operate a commercial motor vehicle and how to ensure they are both managed. We also define and describe the steps you are required to take to ensure all drivers are fit and qualified, with industry standard practices, and the new rules governing this process. Instruction covers the driver application, all required information and documentation, all information that must be verified, optional and recommended steps, and what to do when something goes wrong.

The most important thing you can do, in order to ensure success in any endeavor, is to make the best choices possible with regard to the people who will join you in that endeavor. I know, it sounds like something some famous person must have said. Thomas Jefferson? Teddy Roosevelt? General G.S. Melloy? Nah, it’s just me.

The DOT requires you to properly vet prospective drivers, and you need to have documentary evidence it has been done.  Some people want you to buy a folder filled with papers from them each time you hire a driver.  We prefer this: A pdf file with all the documents you need to help you properly document the hiring process.  Our DQ packet includes the following: Proper application, necessary D & A related documents, certification of compliance with driver’s license requirements, and more.

Now, all you need is to complete the forms completely and correctly.
