DOT Compliance Checklist Builder

Build a practical federal DOT compliance checklist around your operation.

Personalized audit-readiness checklist

Answer the questions to build an interactive DOT compliance checklist with severity levels and CFR references. Check items off as you complete them: progress is saved in this browser and nothing is submitted to us.

Where do you operate?
Do you operate vehicles or combinations rated 10,001 lb or more?
Do any drivers operate a vehicle that requires a CDL?
Do you transport property or passengers for compensation across state lines?
Do you transport placardable hazardous materials?
Do you operate passenger-carrying vehicles?
Are you in the FMCSA New Entrant period?
Do covered drivers use an ELD to record hours of service?
Is this an owner-operator business?

What this checklist covers

Depending on your answers, the builder covers registration, operating authority, driver qualification, drug and alcohol programs, hours of service, vehicle maintenance, hazardous materials and New Entrant audit preparation. It deliberately flags uncertain areas instead of guessing.

Official sources

Rules and agency systems can change. Check the linked source before making a filing or compliance decision.
