Maybe random drug tests within an 8 hour notice, which gets complicated when you are an owner operator, and if you miss the drug test for whatever reason its is considered a positive with one year suspension.

Written pre trip walk around safety checks required and keep on file gor years.

All maintenence records.

Actually all records must be keep and all files and ready for DOT safety audit during normal hours, and if anything found lacking, your operation/ drivder is placed "out of service", and that violation then bexomes`serious.

The law doesn't distinguish between an operator with one truck that drives a 1,000 miles` a year and one with 5 trucks and drives a million miles regarding keeping all the same paperwork records.

When they decide to drop the hammer, it will hurt.

I suspect with state budget cuts, we are getting a little breather in enforcement actions, but that will likely soon change.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
