Q&A
As a DOT newbie, the breadth of topics covered was great. The topics that helped me most personally were DOT Drug & Alcohol testing and policies, driver qualification, and maintenance management. Very satisfied.
All content was beneficial, but I really appreciated these topics that were covered: hours of service, MCS-150 updates, and SMS scores. I'm looking forward to further consulting from DOT Compliance Help, and potentially a Mock Audit. Thanks Mike!
It was great to have you in class, Matt! We'll reach out to set up a Mock Audit.
Highly recommend this company for any DOT needs. Addressed my issues in a timely manner and went above and beyond my expectations. I will use this company again for future endeavors regarding my trucking business and give a 5star rating!!! Thank you, Jordan
Good content! Enjoyed the webinar and forwarded the information along to other companies such as Halliburton, TNT Crane, and Schlumberger, they all responded positively. Thank you again for the valuable information.
