Dealing with the many rules in the transport business can feel like a maze. But for companies that run commercial vehicles, getting DOT compliance right isn’t just key – it’s crucial to stay safe and legal on the road.
DOT is short for the Department of Transportation, a key government body that works to keep transportation in the United States safe smooth-running, and easy to use. They sum up their job like this: “To help the United States by making sure we have a quick safe well-run, easy-to-use, and handy transportation system that supports our country’s big needs and makes life better for Americans now and in the years to come.”
