Check Post-Accident Testing Requirements

Where Should You Start?

For a current accident, start with the post-accident testing tool and contact your designated employer representative promptly. For a broader program review, begin with the self-check. Use the training planner to turn your safety priorities into monthly conversations, practical exercises, and follow-up activities.

Put the Results to Work

Review each suggestion against your operation, assign a person to follow through, and set a review date. These tools support planning and internal review; they do not certify compliance or replace required training and records.

Compliance Toolkit Questions

Are these trucking compliance tools free?

Yes. The public self-check and training planner are free to use without an account. You can review your results and save or print them.

Who are these tools designed for?

They are designed for U.S. motor carrier owners, safety managers, and staff supporting property-carrying fleets. Review the guidance for your operation, equipment, and applicable requirements.

Does a completed self-check prove that my fleet is compliant?

No. Results depend on the answers you enter and are intended to guide your own review. A self-check is not an audit, safety rating, or certification of compliance.

What can I download from the training planner?

You can print or save a PDF plan, export the calendar as a CSV, and download an editable draft to reopen later. The report includes monthly action sheets, toolbox talks, notes, and weekly activities when selected.
