Anybody who has gone through the process of obtaining a DOT number has had some experience with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Oftentimes smaller businesses and owner operators assume their time with the FMCSA ends when that process is complete. We tend to think of the FMCSA as the agency whose primary responsibility is to monitor multi-driver, long-haul trucking fleets.
