Taking Care Of Your USDOT
This video goes over the importance of a healthy DOT score and what goes into maintaining one.
Taking Care of Your USDOT Score & Violation History
Your DOT score gets measured by what's called a CSA Score (Compliance, Safety, Accountability Score)
Things that make up your CSA score:
- Unsafe Driving
- Crash Indicator
- Hours of Service
- Vehicle Maintenance
- Controlled Substances/Alcohol
- Hazardous Material Compliance
- Driver Fitness
This all includes looking at any violations such as vehicle out-of-service violations and driver safety violations.
It also include making sure you're following all rules and guidelines such as making sure you're enrolled in a drug and alcohol
consortium. Side Note: If at a weigh station it is discovered that one of your drivers is not enrolled in a drug and alcohol consortium, the penalty is an automatic suspension of your USDOT.
The CSA score doesn't appear until you have whats considered a "Permanent USDOT".
This is any DOT that has been active for 18 months or 1.5 years.
Besides avoiding penalties and suspensions, maintaining a good CSA score can also come with a few perks such as:
- Lower annual insurance premiums
- Customer Preference (looking better to Brokers and Shippers)
- Chance of Fewer DOT audits and inspections. If pulled over or stopped at a weigh station, you're more likely to get inspected or audited if they see a pattern of violations on your DOT. Maintaining a good track record of passing all inspections and audits will decrease the likelihood of getting audited or inspected, which can save you valuable time.
- Easier Driver Recruitment Efforts. Experienced drivers may not want to work with you if you have a history of violations and bad inspections or audits. Experienced drivers may see that as a sign of not having a good business structure or system in place.

    • @truckersauthority
      @truckersauthority 3 місяці тому

      The hardest part about having a motor carrier authority and Brokerage authority, is that most insurance companies won't insure you. There are some that will if you have had more than 3 to 5 years of insurance history or you are a large fleet with small exposure on the Brokerage side. So with Fmcsa there is not an issue. The issue will be with the insurance markets.

    Hi. Question back on sep/2023 I have an inspection officer found an out service violation ( chamber air hose wear) but dot officer did not put out of service on the spot also dot officer said he won’t put me out of service even on the report because I was on the way to my yard less than a 1 mile away from where I was pulled over.but when I go online I see I have 1 out of service 100% is possible to do something about this??

    • @truckersauthority
      @truckersauthority 3 місяці тому

      One thing to always ask before leaving the scale. Is "Did I get an out of service?" sometimes they don't tell you if you got one, it is your responsibility to ask. In this case the only thing you can do is get more inspections and pass them to Lowe the score. It's a bummer they don't tell you.

      Same here, they gave me an OOS for dirt piled up on the rear deck of my dump truck, which of course I didn’t notice on the ticket. I cleaned it out in front of the officer, as he requested, and he let me keep driving. I requested on data Qs the removal of oos but they denied it. My insurance went up about 10 to 15 grand for next year. Frustrating.
