What Happens When You Get a DOT Violation ⛔ ⛟

If a motor carrier fails to stay compliant, there can be some serious consequences, both for individual drivers and for the whole company.

Here are a few DOT violations to watch out for:

VIOLATION #1: FAILED DRUG TEST
If a commercial driver refuses to take a drug test or tests positive for a controlled substance, they'll have to stop driving right away. The violation has to be reported to the Clearinghouse, and the carrier needs to give the driver a list of substance abuse professionals (SAPs). In order to get back behind the wheel, the driver has to complete treatment and pass a return-to-duty test. They'll also need to have follow-up tests, and the frequency of those tests depends on what the SAP recommends.

VIOLATION #2: DRIVING TOO LONG
If a commercial driver goes over the hours of service (HOS) limits, they could get a ticket from the police. After a violation like this, the driver can't drive again until they're back in compliance. Depending on local laws, the driver might have to pay a fine, and the DOT could fine either the driver or the carrier (or both). If a carrier has a pattern of HOS violations, their compliance, safety, and accountability (CSA) score could take a hit.

If your team has to deal with a DOT violation, it's important to take care of it fast. Depending on what happened, you might need to get the driver some help, pay a fine, or figure out how to improve the carrier's CSA score. Whatever the problem is, don't wait—address it as soon as you can!
