DOT Driver Qualification File Checklist | Foley

Do any of your company drivers do the following?

• Operate vehicles with a GVWR/GCWR of 10,001 pounds or more
• Transport at least 8 passengers, including themselves
• Transport hazardous materials that require placarding

If so, they need a driver qualification file.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires these files to include specific documents that prove your drivers have the right qualifications to operate commercial vehicles.

If you fail to keep these documents in a digital format, you could pay fines of up to $34,712 after facing a compliance audit.

That’s why we’ve created a convenient driver qualification file checklist.
