Services / Fleet & DOT Safety

Fleet safety for every vehicle. Every driver.

Driving is part of the job. It belongs in your safety program. We review driver files, vehicle records, and the DOT requirements that apply to your operation, write the fleet program, and train your drivers.

How we work

Identify. Correct. Educate.

Service vans, pickups, box trucks, and tractor-trailers. One fleet safety program covering every vehicle your people drive for work.

01

Identify

A DOT compliance and fleet review. We establish which requirements apply, then review driver qualification files, hours of service records, vehicle inspection and maintenance records, your drug and alcohol testing program, motor vehicle record checks, and crash history.

02

Correct

A written fleet safety program tailored to your vehicles, drivers, routes, and operations. Driver approval, driving-record reviews, pre-trip inspections, backing, distraction and fatigue, crash response and investigation, and hazardous materials transportation where applicable.

03

Educate

Defensive driving, behind-the-wheel evaluations, and backing instruction for your drivers, plus DOT hazmat training matched to the duties of employees who prepare, load, or transport hazardous materials.

Rules that apply

The requirements behind the review.

Requirements depend on vehicle and combination weight, cargo, operating territory, driver duties, and applicable exemptions. We establish applicability before reviewing compliance.

49 CFR 391
Driver qualification. For drivers subject to Part 391, we review qualification files, applications, driving-record inquiries and annual reviews, road-test documentation or an accepted equivalent, and required medical qualification records.
49 CFR 382
Drug and alcohol testing. Program requirements for drivers operating vehicles subject to CDL requirements, including applicable testing, Clearinghouse queries, supervisor training, and employer records.
49 CFR 395
Hours of service. Driving and duty limits, supporting records, and applicable short-haul and electronic logging exceptions.
49 CFR 396
Inspection and maintenance. Inspection, repair, maintenance, required inspection reports, defect correction, and periodic inspections.
49 CFR 172.704
DOT hazmat training. Training and testing for employees whose duties affect hazardous materials transportation safety. Instruction covers their assigned functions, with recurrent training at least every three years and documented training records.
Light fleet
A pickup or service van can fall under DOT requirements, depending on its weight, trailer, cargo, and use. Vehicles outside those requirements still belong in your safety program. We cover driver approval, inspections, maintenance, backing, distraction, fatigue, and crash response across the fleet.
Why TENET

Trained to drive when it matters most.

Classroom instruction, vehicle walk-arounds, and behind-the-wheel evaluation, supported by experience in emergency vehicle operations, hazmat response, and crash scenes.

01

Emergency vehicle operator instructor

Space management, intersections, stopping distance, and backing, taught by a certified emergency vehicle operator instructor.

02

Hazmat responder

Years of hazmat and EMS calls, including truck crashes and spills on the highway. We understand the consequences because we have worked those incidents.

03

DOT hazmat instruction

Training for employees who prepare, load, and transport hazardous materials, matched to their duties under 49 CFR 172.704.
