At Driving Ambition, DOT Safety & Compliance is a priority. Driving Ambition hires only safe, experienced, DOT-qualified CDL drivers who are committed to providing exceptional service. Here's how:
Stringent Screening
Each candidate must pass our rigorous four-part screening process before we accept any driver as an employee:
Application. The driver completes an in-depth DOT application, which includes a variety of questions about the driver's history, skills, and limitations.
Interview. We conduct a comprehensive personal interview to evaluate the candidate's ability to meet our strict qualifications.
Records Review & Verification. We review the driver's current Motor Vehicle Record as well as verify employment background and criminal history, in addition to the past three years of drug/alcohol history as mandated by the DOT.
Pre-Employment DOT Drug Screen & Physical. Each driver is required to complete a DOT physical and drug screen prior to employment.
