Today, we’re going to talk about commercial motor vehicle, or CMV, accident procedures.
Knowing what to do following an accident is essential. You can minimize the damage and potential liability caused by an accident if you take the right action immediately following the incident.
Accidents are difficult and upsetting situations to deal with. Whether minor or major, they can have an impact on your future as a CMV driver. So you want to be sure you handle any incidents effectively and correctly.
During this session, we’ll cover all the basics. But remember, you also need to be familiar with your carrier’s specific rules and procedures for dealing with accidents.
Commercial motor vehicle, or CMV, inspections are essential to preventing accidents and injuries. Our organization is required by law to inspect, repair, and maintain all CMVs so that they’re always roadworthy and safe to operate.
To help our organization comply with the rules, you need to understand the requirements of CMV inspection regulations and be familiar with any inspection-related duties that you have as part of your job.
In order to drive a CMV in interstate commerce, you must meet certain requirements set by the FMCSA. These are known as the DQ requirements. Their purpose is to make sure all CMV drivers are physically capable and have the knowledge and skills to operate a CMV safely. Both CMV drivers and motor carriers that employ them have responsibilities under the DQ requirements. This course will help CMV drivers operate a vehicle safely in the roadway.
Fleet safety is a core element of any business that provides vehicles for employee use. There are over 8 million fleet vehicles on the road today.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the part of the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) responsible for regulating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and their drivers, states that “driver error” is a primary cause of large-vehicle accidents. CMV driver error can include failure to look before taking an action, fatigue, external distractions, driving at unsafe speeds, or even eating and drinking behind the wheel.
This course will help CMV drivers with a commercial driver license (CDL), identify risky driving behaviors and highlight safe driving techniques to ensure that your actions are not the cause of an accident.

La Administración Federal de Seguridad de Transportistas Motorizados (FMCSA) es la parte del Departamento de Transporte de los Estados Unidos (DOT) responsable de regular los vehículos motorizados comerciales (CMVs) y sus conductores, y establece que el “error del conductor” es una causa principal de accidentes de vehículos grandes. El error del conductor de CMVs puede incluir la falta de mirar antes de realizar una acción, la fatiga, distracciones externas, conducir a velocidades inseguras o incluso comer y beber al volante.
