DOT Safety Blitz Week

The DOT Blitz Week is an annual inspection event conducted by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to ensure compliance with federal regulations on commercial motor vehicles. The 2023 DOT Blitz Week will take place from Sunday, May 14 to Thursday, May 18.

During this time, DOT officers will conduct thorough inspections on commercial vehicles and drivers, including checking for compliance with safety regulations such as hours-of-service limits, proper maintenance, and proper cargo securement.

Quality freight brokers like www.fenichey.com can help their clients during this time by ensuring that the carriers they work with are compliant with DOT regulations and have all the necessary documentation and safety protocols in place. This can help reduce the risk of non-compliance penalties and ensure timely delivery of goods. Brokers can also provide advice on best practices for complying with DOT regulations and help navigate any potential issues that arise during inspections.
