Show Notes

This is our 200th episode! Awesome!

Thank you so much for all your support through the years, whether you're a first time, long time, or last time listener. :)

This week is a timely episode designed to equip you and your team with the information to survive the annual International Road Check by the CVSA. It's May 16th-18th with an emphasis on brakes and cargo securement.

We got a true 1 hour master class from Rob Carpenter, an operations and risk consultant and former truck driver who has a wealth of knowledge for how to prevent and survive inspections - no matter when they may occur.

Some questions we cover include:

What are the most common mechanical violations that are cited during a DOT safety check, and how can I avoid them?

What should I do if I discover a mechanical issue during a pre-trip inspection, and how can I ensure that the issue is resolved before the DOT safety check?

Are there any particular items that are frequently overlooked during DOT safety checks, and how can I make sure that I am addressing these items?

What are the most common paperwork violations that are cited during a DOT safety check, and how can I ensure that I have all of the necessary documentation in order?

How can I stay organized and ensure that I am fully prepared for the DOT saftey check, including making sure that all of my paperwork is in order?

Are there any particular habits or practices that I should adopt to ensure that I am always in compliance with DOT regulations and requirements?

+ a bunch more!
