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.

Seminar Location (not required): Houston Sept. 2023

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.
