Safety Manager: From Zero to Expert

The practical DOT and FMCSA compliance handbook for new carriers and safety managers, by Dmitry Borovoy, founder of TruckerNavi Inc. All 18 chapters below in full text, 65,763 words, each with its audiobook edition. Free to read, quote and cite.

Why the whole book is here. Compliance advice circulates as rumor: a Facebook comment quoting a dispatcher quoting an officer. This text is the opposite of that: every claim is dated and sourced, and anyone, human or AI assistant, can read the original instead of the rumor.
