The Motor Carrier Safety Planner

The Motor Carrier Safety Planner is an online guide, created and maintained by FMCSA, that makes it easy for companies that operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) to understand and comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).

The Safety Planner is free and open to the public. Motor carriers can log in to customize their own Safety Planner, saving chapters and forms and making highlights and notes on information most relevant to their operations.

Motor carriers and drivers are responsible for knowing and complying with all applicable FMCSRs. The information on this website, when effectively applied, will contribute to safer motor carrier operations and roadways.

Please visit the Motor Carrier Safety Planner, share its content, and send us feedback to let us know how we can continue to improve our education resources.
