You may not haul freight for hire, but that doesn’t mean you're off the hook when it comes to federal and state trucking laws. If you operate a commercial motor vehicle, even without a CDL, you might be subject to FMCSA and Washington State DOT rules.


What Might Apply:

  • DOT numbers

  • Logbooks or time records

  • Medical cards

  • Periodic inspections

  • Maintenance files


And yes, you can be stopped and inspected by the Washington State Patrol. One bad inspection could mean your driver or vehicle is taken out-of-service, delaying projects, increasing insurance rates, and hurting your business reputation.


Don’t guess. Don’t get fined. Let PNWDOTCompliance.com help you figure out what applies to your fleet and how to fix what doesn’t.
