DOT Commercial Vehicle Classification & Regulations 101

Statewide Zoom Event / Lunch & Learn in North Little Rock

When it comes to the Department of Transportation, there are a lot of discrepancies and misunderstandings about what constitutes as a Commercial Motor Vehicle and what documentation Commercial Drivers must maintain. DOT regulations aren’t just for tractor trailers / semi’s. They are also for pickup trucks pulling trailers of a certain weight. Many of our small to medium sized contractors utilize this method and might not realize what regulations their vehicles fall under.  

Join us virtually or in person for DOT Commercial Vehicle Classification & Regulations 101.

Our expert speaker from the Arkansas Highway Police will give an overview of what vehicles the DOT regulates and what commercial drivers need to know to stay in compliance.

Attendees statewide have the option to join the virtual seminar via Zoom from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. We also have an in-person lunch and learn option for people who want to meet in-person at the ACTA facility in North Little Rock. Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m.

There is no cost to attend.
