DOT compliance

Why Transportation Hiring Demands DOT-Compliant Screening

Transportation is one of the most heavily regulated industries in the U.S. Every CDL driver must pass DOT-mandated drug testing, have a clean MVR, and be cleared through the FMCSA Clearinghouse. Missing a single requirement isn't just a compliance gap — it's a safety and liability risk for everyone on the road.
