1. Fatigue & Long Hours

Fatigue is a leading cause of accidents. Compliance systems help you implement fatigue management programs, track hours of service, and document preventive measures—showing clients you’re prioritizing safety.

2. Improper Load Securement

Cargo that shifts or falls creates serious risk. Platforms like ISNetworld® require documented procedures and proof of employee training. Staying compliant ensures your team understands and follows DOT load securement standards.

3. Equipment Failure

From tire blowouts to faulty brakes, equipment issues are often preventable. Routine maintenance and daily inspections—when logged and tracked properly—support both operational safety and audit readiness.

4. Distracted or Impaired Driving

A strong compliance program includes clear policies on device use, substance abuse, and ongoing driver education. This not only improves safety—it also meets client-mandated training and documentation requirements.

5. Incomplete Safety Documentation

Missing reports or outdated files can result in failed audits or lost contracts. RAVS®, EMR letters, training records, and incident logs must be accurate and up to date across systems like Veriforce®, Avetta®, and ISNetworld®.
