DOT Requirements for Semi-Truck and Box Truck Drivers

DOT-2.2

Most products that people use are moved over the road in trucks. However, truck drivers require extensive training over how to operate their vehicles, keep good records and logs, and how to take care of themselves and their vehicles. In addition to company and vehicle-specific training, this course can give drivers an initial frame of reference over their responsibilities and job duties. Learners who successfully complete this course should be able to identify general Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements for truck drivers, and inspection and reporting requirements for truck drivers. Learners should also be able to identify hours of service and logging requirements for drivers and recommended driver wellness practices.
