My school made us do the quiz on the DOT regulations manuAL and it has all the rules in it that they said every truck company is required to give to you and stay in the truck, as for fines they would vary by state
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.

To my understanding truckers can be piggy banks to some D.O.T officers or cops just to make their quota. Is there a website that shows all D.O.T violations like a check list so to speak concerning truck drivers & the fines to pay if you happen to get one??? Maybe to avoid these tickets. So many regulations now & could be pricey as well. Any help with this or experiences will be great! Thanks in Advance
