At Total Trade Transportation LLC, safety isn't a policy statement — it's the operational foundation that every driver, dispatcher, and manager operates from, every single day.
Total Trade Transportation LLC operates under full compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations. Every aspect of our operation — from driver qualification to vehicle inspection — is measured against federal standards.
Our safety management program is structured to not merely comply with regulations, but to exceed them — setting an internal standard that protects our drivers, our cargo, and the public on every American highway.
Full compliance with 49 CFR Parts 390–397 covering general safety regulations, driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle inspection, and transportation of cargo.
Annual DOT vehicle inspections documented and maintained for all 50 power units. DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports) completed at every pre/post-trip inspection.
Minimum $750,000 public liability insurance per FMCSA requirements, maintaining continuous coverage for all operating units under our authority.
All 50 trucks and owner operators under our authority operate with FMCSA-approved ELD devices through our Samsara integration, ensuring automatic, tamper-proof Hours of Service logging.
Dispatchers actively monitor driver HOS through Samsara's live dashboard. No driver is dispatched beyond permissible driving hours. Safety violations are flagged and corrected in real time.
Automated alerts trigger when drivers approach HOS limits, enter violation risk zones, or require mandatory rest breaks — giving dispatchers actionable lead time to protect compliance.
Commercial Driver's License verified through CDLIS (Commercial Driver's License Information System) for every driver before assignment.
Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) and Pre-Employment Screening Program (PSP) record reviewed for all applicants. Zero-tolerance for disqualifying violations.
DOT-compliant pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol testing program managed through our consortium.
Valid DOT medical examiner's certificate required for all drivers. NRCME-certified medical examiner records maintained in DQ files.
Annual driver qualification file review by our Safety & Compliance Manager (Muhammad Fawad) for every active driver in the fleet.
Our drivers are our most important asset. The qualification process at Total Trade Transportation is rigorous by design — we recruit experienced CDL holders, screen thoroughly, and continuously monitor performance to maintain the fleet's safety record.
Safety & Compliance Manager Muhammad Fawad oversees all driver qualification files, test results, and ongoing annual reviews to ensure every driver under our authority meets or exceeds FMCSA requirements.
