Drivers who are expected to operate longer combination vehicles (e.g., double or triple trailers) must not only have the proper CDL endorsement to do so, but also successfully complete a training program that meets the requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 380, Appendix F. Upon successful completion of that training, drivers must be issued a training certificate, a copy of which should be retained in their driver file.

Learn about Compliance+Carriers must maintain an accident register that lists all “DOT recordable accidents” occurring within the prior 3 years. A “DOT recordable accident” is one that involves (i) a fatality; (ii) bodily injury to a person who, as a result of the injury, immediately receives medical treatment away from the scene; or (iii) disabling damage to any vehicle that requires that motor vehicle to be towed away from the scene. This document is intended to satisfy this requirement.
Carriers must annually review each driver’s motor vehicle record as well as other information described in 49 C.F.R. 391.25, and complete an Annual Review form to place in the driver’s file. This document serves as the Annual Review of Driving Record.
Carriers are responsible for ensuring that any individuals performing annual inspections under 49 C.F.R. 396.19 are qualified to do so. This form should be completed and retained by the carrier for any such individual.
