Carrier Assessment

If you are an established carrier and have not developed a Compliance Program or are not sure if your program is compliant, we perform an in-house assessment. Contact Red River to schedule an assessment to determine if you have any deficiencies so that we can help you develop a corrective action plan.

Mock Audit

If you have recently registered and received a USDOT, you will be placed in the New Entrant Program and will be monitored for 18 months. Within the 18-month period, you must undergo and pass a Safety Audit to continue operating in interstate commerce. Contact Red River to schedule an in-house mock audit to identify and correct any deficiencies before the DOT safety audit.

In-House Training (All Areas)

If your company has five or more drivers or management that need training Red River can scheduled on-site training at the carrier's facility. Often, this is the preferred choice for companies as Red River is able to create customized plans based upon a company's unique needs.

Hours of Service (Log) Training

Each driver who operates a CMV must record his/her duty status for each 24-hour period. This is an important part of our training and we spend adequate time training your team. We don't just show those attending our class how to log, we teach them how to PROPERLY log.

Dispute Roadside Inspection (Violation Write Ups)

Although the enforcement agencies across the nation are very well-trained and perform an excellent job, during roadside inspections, from time to time, mistakes are made. If you retain our services, we will review all examination reports and dispute any incorrect write-ups on your behalf, that would have had a negative impact on your BASIC score.

Carrier for Hire Assessments

If you are a shipper or a carrier and you hire carriers to haul your freight, it is important to know the carriers you choose are DOT Compliant. It is extremely important due to shipper's liability for carriers hired to be DOT compliant. Contact Red River to arrange in-house assessments with the carriers contracted to haul freight for your company.

Random Log Audit

To ensure all drivers are following DOT Regs, a carrier must properly complete the HOS Log and we strongly recommend a carrier audit these logs. Depending on the number of drivers, at a minimum, this should be done quarterly. Although a carrier may be auditing their drivers' logs, we have found it beneficial to have an outside source perform this service. Contact Red River to assist in developing this program.

Develop Equipment Maintenance Files

Under FMCSA Part 396, each power unit and trailer being used in interstate commerce must have an Equipment Maintenance file on-hand and stored where the units are housed. FMCSA Rules and Regulations specify the format and the contents of the files that must contain specific information. Red River can help set up your files to meet FMCSA regulations.

It is strongly recommended that all new hire drivers attend Entry Level Drivers Training. This will help ensure all employed drivers have been properly trained, which can result in reduced violations during roadside inspections.

Develop Random Drug and Alcohol Testing Program
