Read the video transcript
DOT compliance starts with how you operate, what the regulations require, and whether your records support it.
A driver qualification file needs more than an application. Hours-of-service records need to agree with supporting documents. When an inspection identifies a defect, the follow-up needs to show how you addressed it.
At PassPro, we review driver files, hours of service, drug and alcohol programs, and maintenance records. We provide mock audits, private inspection-readiness reviews, and training for intermodal, petroleum, and hazmat operations.
When we identify a problem, we explain the applicable requirement, the correction needed, and the documentation that supports it. You get an agreed scope and written findings.
Henry Vargas brings more than twenty years in intermodal operations and safety, with leadership in the Texas Trucking Association’s Safety Management Council.
Chad Johnson, Certified Director of Safety, brings twenty-one years in transportation and fourteen years leading operations and safety. He also serves on the board of the Houston Council of Safety Professionals.
If you’ve got an audit coming, unresolved inspection findings, or a training need, call us. Let’s look at what your operation needs.
