DOT Compliance made easy

Our team of DOT Compliance Specialists will manage and monitor your:

  • Drug and alcohol testing requirements
  • Driver Qualification File
  • Fuel Taxes
  • Yearly Licensing Renewals
  • and more

Managing everything on your own is overwhelming and missing any little detail can lead to audits, fines and other negative consequences.

We ensure that your company is following all of the rules and regulations set by the FMCSA with a goal of saving you money by avoiding audits, fines and hopefully lowering insurance premiums.

What is Proactive Safety Management (PSM)?

Proactive Safety Management or PSM is the basis of our business and is somewhat of a motto here at CNS. PSM is an internal term we created meaning you and your company are working hard to be safe and compliant and stay ahead of the FMCSA.

All DOT Compliance Programs were built with Proactive Safety in mind.

The PSM DOT Essentials Program, and all DOT Compliance Programs, are built with a proactive mindset to ensure your safety and compliance is in order. We keep you ahead of the FMCSA and provide peace of mind that there is a team that knows all of the complicated processes to stay FMCSA compliant.

CNS has done an excellent job with our fleet compliance. Our Account Manager does a great job at keeping us up to date and compliant!
