Today’s focus
Licensing and qualification problems are easier to correct before dispatch than at roadside. Drivers and carriers should confirm the CDL class, endorsements, restrictions and medical-certification status against the work assigned.
Operational check
Match the driver to the vehicle and cargo, verify required documents, and resolve database or record discrepancies through the responsible state or federal channel.
Driver takeaway
Carry the documents required for the trip, know where electronic records are stored and never assume an expired or mismatched credential will be accepted.
