This DOT safety report checklist helps organizations manage driver and vehicle safety to meet Department of Transportation requirements. It guides management leadership and policy, driver qualification and training, journey management, fatigue and impairment, daily fitness to drive, and defensive driving. It covers vehicle inspections, maintenance documentation, load securement and weight limits, weather planning, work zone practices and signage, and handling of hazardous materials and cargo.
