Fostering a culture of safety and compliance into operational decisions starts at the top of any company, but the root of success in building a sustainable culture will always be held by decision makers at the ground level. As drivers make decisions on a day to day basis, their confidence is built or stripped by the support they receive from their direct management. Learn how to be more effective at building driver confidence by leaning into DOT compliance. Evaluate if your organizational pillars include transportation compliance. Identify resources built to strengthen DOT compliance and assess your company's goals. Historically, DOT compliance knowledge is expected from drivers and driver managers learn from mistakes drivers make. Learn how to be an ally for your drivers and encourage your partnerships with your drivers by better understanding DOT compliance, its role on our roads and how this knowledge can shift your driver's experience.
