MOTOR CARRIER SUPPORT
About DOTCSA
DOT Compliance Safety Association (DOTCSA) provides private consultation, training, and support to motor carriers looking to improve their DOT compliance and reduce the impact of accidents on their motor carrier record. They help identify areas of non-compliance to prepare motor carriers for potential DOT investigations. DOTCSA also develops corrective action plans to address previous DOT safety violations in order to improve motor carrier safety ratings.
How Vaughan & Associates Helps
Vaughan & Associates utilizes decades of accident investigation and reconstruction experience to assist motor carriers with accident prevention and response training. If an accident should occur, Vaughan & Associates also consults with motor carriers on how best to respond to an incident to ensure that a motor carrier is prepared for any possible litigation.
Post Accident Response
Vaughan & Associates helps motor carriers prepare for possible lawsuits if an accident occurs. Vaughan & Associates can train your drivers and safety personnel to identify and collect the evidence after an accident that is sometimes missed.
Post Accident Consultation
After an accident, a motor carrier must determine the best course of action to ensure future safety and defend their company during possible litigation. Vaughan & Associates assists with this process by reviewing available evidence to help safety personnel understand what really happened in an accident. Armed with this knowledge, motor carriers will be better prepared to defend their decisions to fire a driver or to retain them.
Protect Your Motor Carrier Rating
Per 49 CFR 390.15, a motor carrier is required to record any accident when a tow truck is used, an ambulance is called, or a person dies in the crash. These accidents can affect the motor carrier's rating regardless of who is at fault. Vaughan & Associates works to appeal these incidents so that non-preventable accidents do not harm the motor carrier's rating with FMCSA.
