1. What training is required for DOT drivers?
DOT drivers need entry-level driver training, hours-of-service education, drug and alcohol awareness training, and hazmat training, if applicable. Our comprehensive course covers all required areas for complete compliance.
2. What is the difference between a DOT and a CDL?
A CDL (Commercial Driver’s License) is the official license required to operate large or commercial vehicles, such as trucks, buses, and tractor-trailers. DOT compliance involves following federal safety regulations beyond just having a license, including medical certificates, hours of service, and vehicle maintenance.
3. What are the requirements for a DOT driver?
DOT drivers must be at least 21 for interstate routes, pass medical exams, hold a valid CDL, complete required training, pass drug testing, and maintain accurate hours-of-service logs.
4. How long is DOT training?
Our DOT driver training takes 4 to 6 hours to complete. Since it's self-paced, you can finish in one day or spread it out over several sessions to fit your schedule.
