Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this training required by DOT?

No. But every new carrier faces a safety audit within its first 12 months, during an 18-month monitoring period. Some violations fail the audit automatically, such as not having a random drug and alcohol testing program. This course prepares you for that audit.

Who should take it?

Owners and safety staff at carriers with a new USDOT number or new operating authority.

Does it guarantee I pass the audit?

No. It shows you what the auditor checks and how to have it ready, but passing depends on your own records and practices. goMDnow Consortium members also get compliance support for audits.

Can we train our whole team?

Yes. Team pricing is available for fleets and companies training several people. Call 980-655-4455. goMDnow Consortium members also save 30% on every course when they sign in.

Does the certificate expire?

No. Federal rules set no refresher interval for this course. Your certificate carries a unique verification ID that an employer or auditor can check on goMDnow's verification page, so keep a copy on file. Retake the course when the regulations change or when someone new takes over the role.
