No matter what type of carrier you are, the goal of a roadside inspection is always no violations.
Not only do violations and out-of-service orders cause the FMCSA to look more closely at your company, they negatively impact your operation through:
- A higher ISS score, which can trigger more inspections;
- Lost revenue due to fines and unscheduled downtime;
- Lost business caused by your publicly accessible SMS data; and
- Increased litigation risk and higher insurance rates.
With 1 million driver violations and 3.8 million vehicle violations per year, preparing your drivers and vehicles for roadside inspections offers a significant ROI by boosting your fleet's safety and productivity.
In this DOT Roadside Inspection guide, our subject matter experts walk you through a roadside inspection, from selection to completion. They detail each inspection step, what the officer will ask for and look at, and expectations for your driver and unit.
