Do the rules
even apply to you?
Most operators don't find out they're FMCSA-regulated until it costs them. Answer a few questions about your operation — we'll tell you if the rules apply, and if they do, exactly where a DOT audit would find gaps.
No call required. It's anonymous until you choose to see your full breakdown.
Do you operate any vehicle — or a truck-and-trailer combination — with a gross weight or rating of 10,001 lbs or more?
This catches a lot of people: a ¾- or 1-ton pickup pulling a loaded equipment, dump, or gooseneck trailer routinely crosses this line.
Do your vehicles cross state lines — or haul goods, equipment, or materials that begin or end their trip in another state?
Even hauling for a job that started with out-of-state materials can count as interstate commerce.
Do you transport 9 or more people (including the driver) for compensation — or 16 or more in any case?
Applies to shuttles, crew transport, and similar operations.
Do you haul any hazardous materials in a quantity that requires placards?
How many power units (trucks or vehicles) do you run?
Do any of your drivers hold — or need — a commercial driver's license (CDL)?
