• Roadside inspection: commercial motor vehicles — Law enforcement and inspectors. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations most often checked at a roadside stop: driver licensing and medical certification, hours of service, drugs and alcohol, brakes, lights, tires, cargo securement and out-of-service rules.
• Before you drive: a CMV driver’s compliance check — Commercial truck and bus drivers. What a commercial driver is responsible for before and during a trip: inspecting the vehicle and cargo, the inspection report, hours-of-service limits and logs, phones, seat belts, and the paperwork to carry.
• Hauling hazardous materials: the basics — Hazmat drivers, carriers and inspectors. Core rules for moving hazardous materials by highway: the Hazardous Materials Table (with hazardous substances, reportable quantities and marine pollutants) and its special provisions, the hazmat endorsement, shipping papers, emergency response information, placards, driver training, and attending, parking, smoking and fueling rules.
