Any DOT experts out there?
I've gone through about three different DOT trainings at this point and still struggle understanding it. I feel like those regulations go pretty deep and it's tough to keep track of everything.
Are any of you out there pretty good with DOT stuff? If so, how did you learn it?

Mostly self taught by snooping the safer.fmcsa.dot.gov site and looking things up from there on transportation.gov. Now I have access to Zywave which has a ton of DOT guides.
Most insurance brokers and auto insurance carriers have experts, reach out and ask. They’ll help you out!

Our company does 49 CFR hazmat training, and I feel pretty comfortable with that part overall.
What exactly is it that you're having questions about?
If it's hazmat, I would recommend contacting PHMSA directly.

I am not an expert by any means. I’ve also been through 3 trainings and there are still things that confuse me. Luckily, we have folks who strictly handle shipments so they essentially handle all DOT manners. Due to the number of nuances to DOT, I think the best way to learn it is by doing it...
