Defensive Driving Course Requirements
Federal law does NOT mandate defensive driving training for CMV drivers (except for entry-level ELDT requirements). State and carrier requirements vary widely.
What federal law requires (§ 391.11)
Driver must "possess the necessary skills to safely operate a CMV." This is a general qualification, not a course requirement. ELDT (49 CFR Part 380) requires 31 theory + 19 behind-the-wheel topics for first-time CDL applicants — but no recurring federal training.
State-level requirements
- Some states (CA, OH, others) mandate defensive driving for renewal of certain CDL endorsements
- Some states mandate accident-history-triggered training (driver had X+ accidents → required course)
- Hazmat endorsement renewal may require security awareness training
Carrier-level requirements (most common)
- New-hire orientation: typically 2-8 hours
- Annual refresher: 1-4 hours (recommended, not required)
- Post-accident review (if accidents occur)
- Roadside-inspection-triggered: if BASIC alerts, supplemental training
Programs commonly used
- Smith System — defensive driving methodology (5 keys to safety)
- CarriersEdge — DOT-focused online courses
- JJ Keller Encompass — full LMS with hundreds of DOT courses
- Smith System certified instructor — at carrier or vendor
- Various TPR-registered providers for ELDT
What auditors look for
- Training records in employee file (not DQF)
- Date completed, hours, instructor/vendor
- Specific course/topic covered
- Driver acknowledgment of completion
How Compass tracks
Compass Training module:
- Course library imported from LMS vendors (Infinit-i, JJ Keller, etc.)
- Per-driver completion tracking
- Renewal alerts for required training
- Audit-ready report exports
CFR citations
- 49 CFR § 391.11
- 49 CFR Part 380
How Compass surfaces this
Searchable in Compass Ask. Runs against carrier fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions without explicit user approval.

Use this skill when the user asks about accident claims management — first-notice-of-loss procedures, working with insurance adjusters, claim severity classification, subrogation, claim closure timelines, and how to influence claim outcomes. Different from accident-investigation-playbook (which covers facts); this covers the insurance + claim side.

Reference 49 CFR 392.7 + insurance industry best practices.
