I really enjoyed this DOT Compliance class. Santiago is very knowledgeable in all aspects of DOT Training and FMCSA rules and regulations. His class was very informative and eye opening on the things that we still need to accomplish in our company.
Great Class! Full of Knowledge!
I attended this training having no DOT knowledge. Santiago made it so easy to understand. The way he made me feel comfortable with a topic I had no knowledge with. I’m so thankful to have attended this training. So much for what it cost.
I had never been to a class that the instructor had the knowledge that Santiago has and tells you he wants to share it with you. I believe the background credentials that Santiago has is something that not anyone is going to have and be willing to share with others like he does. He will definitely put your brain to the extreme test when you attend his course. He will challenge you and make you understand that this type of field is not just for anyone. I really appreciate his knowledge and his teaching methods that he brings. I believe it will make you that much more of a better employee for your company and when you are out in the field doing your job to make the right decisions. Thank you again Santiago!
It was a really good experience. The course covered all the questions that I had and gave me a lot more information that I did not know. The topics covered everything that was said. The provided class materials are really good and handy to have it by the side of your computer and reach for it whenever you have a question. I totally recommend this course if you are looking to extend your DOT knowledge or if you just wan to start with it. The instructor Santiago made the class very interesting.
Coming to this class, taught me so much. Santiago was very detailed with everything. I learned beyond what I expected too. I am very thankful!
Instructor kept it interesting and was very knowledgeable, learned a lot in those three days.
Great class for anyone in this field! Santiago is passionate about this training and does an outstanding job delivering each chapter.
It was a great course very informative, would definitively recommend!
I attended both the DOT Audit & Recordkeeping, and the DOT Compliance Manager courses. Both classes were very impressive with knowledge, this class proved to me I was lacking so much information. When I completed both classes I left confident in my knowledge in DOT. I prefer in person classes myself BUT the online was very helpful since I could not leave. So you think you know DOT? Not until you leave these classes that was an eye opener. Thank you Santiago, keep up the good work….and as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say, “I’ll be back.” I’m interested in your other classes as well.
The Material and Instruction in this class far surpassed any of my expectations, I can easily and confidently say this is the best DOT class I have taken. I didn’t realize how much I didn’t know. Highly recommend this course to anyone in the DOT field.
This class was very informational. The instructor was great at explaining the course. I believe what I learned will help me succeed in my role at my company. Highly recommend this course if you want to learn more on DOT.
Learned a lot from this class! The instructor was amazing and kept my attention at all times. I really appreciate him taking the time to teach students this course. I highly recommend others to take this course. They will not regret it!
Excellent class. I was new to the DOT rules and regs and found all the material extremely helpful and after the three day class, I do not feel as lost. I would recommend this class to anyone in the industry.
A great experience, everything very clearly explained.
Very Informative. 10/10 recommended!
I would like to express my gratitude for such an enriching experience. There was much to learn, and your class was exceptional, filled with magnificent material. It covered all the necessary topics to address any questions about DOT compliance. Moreover, the tools you provided were easy to understand and very helpful. I would recommend it 100%! Thank You Santiago!
I learned a lot in the short amount of time Santiago Talamantez taught. I got a lot of information I never knew to take back to my company to get our records and everything ready properly in case of an audit.
I’m very satisfied with this course! I learned how to how I can create and maintain my DOT files more efficiently!
Great training that is really helping me in my new role as Service Writer, getting me up to speed on audit procedures and proper equipment documentation.
A big thank you to Santiago Talamantez for creating a very informative class! This is my first time being in the oilfield industry, so what I learned was very helpful!
Initially, I felt I was knowledgeable to give the course. Man was I schooled. Your unique perspective was not only insightful but refreshing and more than helpful. It gives the course the spark necessary to make all of the difference. I look forward to attending more of your courses in the future. Definitely worth the price…
The amount of knowledge that I gained in these 3 days was simply amazing. Santiago was an awesome teacher and explained the regulations to where everyone could understand them. The books and handouts are very useful to reference the regulations. His past experiences enabled him to give different perspectives from the different businesses he was involved with. I loved the class and highly recommended it. I look forward to part II.
Class was very beneficial and the presentation was neat. I enjoyed the class very much; it was very informative.
It was a very interesting, dynamic and fun training. It has given me the opportunity to learn more about managing a DOT Department and especially how find and understand the applicable laws for every pickup, truck and trailer on the road. 100% recommend!!!
I have been in the transportation industry for 15 years. Santiago taught me more about DOT Compliance & FMCSA Regulations in this class, than what I had learned over the course of my career. This is a factual and unbiased course that every trucking company in America should invest in.
I recently completed a DOT safety compliance training led by Santiago, and I must say it was an exceptional experience. Santiago’s depth of knowledge in the field is impressive, and he made complex topics accessible and relevant. The training was not only engaging but also highly interactive, which kept everyone actively involved throughout the session.
Santiago customized the training to address the specific needs of our industry and company. This tailored approach made the content not only practical but also immensely valuable for our team. I highly recommend Santiago’s DOT safety compliance training to anyone looking to ensure DOT compliance within their organization.
Mr. Santiago is very knowledge able in the material being presented. After having a couple other types of training this course fulfilled our needs the most. The areas in DOT Compliance we had questions about or were murky to us were reviewed and discussed throughout the training in an understanding way.
Santiago is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in DOT compliance and is what makes attending his course advantageous and value added…
After several years working in the oilfield, what I was taught in this class far out weighs anything I have ever learned. Extremely good material and challenging in all the best ways. Highly recommend anyone interested or in DOT to attend.
Santiago does a great job with the class. The classroom materials are all very well put together and organized. He covers a ton of material in a very short time but he’s very thorough and it’s well done. He told us that it would all come together at the end of the class and he was right. The knowledge I’ve gained from this class is going to be very useful to make sure my company is in compliance. I’m looking forward to the certification class.
Mr. Santiago went above and beyond for everyone in his class. He made sure we understood before moving on to next topic. I’ve been a CDL driver for over 20 years and thought I knew it all until I took his training. Now I understand more than I ever knew. I’d recommend this training to all companies wanting to improve their compliance department. Thank you Mr. Talamantez!
Santiago Talamantez at Safety Compliance & Training LLC is an exceptional instructor who excels in providing a holistic approach to training. His mastery spans various modalities, ensuring every participant grasps concepts effectively.
I highly recommend his DOT compliance course, which stands out among the offerings.

His unwavering commitment to compliance and safety makes him a respected mentor in the industry. He sets the gold standard for professional training. Thanks again for the excellent Instruction and Training!
This course was great! Very informative. I went into this course a little nervous because I had extremely limited knowledge of anything DOT related. One of the first things Santiago asked was how we would rate our DOT knowledge on a scale of 1-10, I told him 0-1. I came away from the course with feeling much more informed. Santiago is very helpful and knowledgeable. He speaks well and teaches in a way that connects with the students. I very much enjoyed his teaching and storytelling and look forward to sitting through more of his classes.
This course was definitely perfect to understanding the basics of DOT Compliance. The instructor is very knowledgeable and very professional. I definitely recommend this class for an entry way to understand DOT Compliance. There is also an advance class as well that is more detail. Definitely 5 stars. I really enjoyed the course.
Outstanding training and top notch instructor. Tons of knowledge of all aspects of DOT Compliance and real world experience to explain information. This course is a must for any level of DOT Managers.
This class was truly an eye opener for me. I am more fully aware now of just how much I need to learn on DOT Compliance. Thank you for all the information and resources. This was a great class. I look forward to more trainings in order to help build further knowledge and skills.
I recommend Santiago Talamantez’ DOT Compliance Manager Training as an excellent choice for professional development. Santiago’s expertise in explaining intricate regulations and incorporating practical examples is truly commendable. The class materials provided are of exceptional quality and will be a a valuable resource for anyone attending his class. This training program is designed for DOT Supervisors and Managers, guaranteeing their professional advancement. Excellent website!
Its a very complete and a very good course. Santiago explains everything the best way.
Very informative and answered any question I had. Very straightforward and to the point. Definitely recommend to anyone looking into stepping into the DOT side of the company.
The Commercial Vehicle Inspector will be helpful in knowing what is required to get and remain compliant. Professional, Knowledgeable, and confident Instructor. Excellent job conveying the material to students. The handout material is a plus! recommend it.
I was amazed at how much I didn’t know about DOT compliance. I am a CDL class A license holder and I thought the rules were basic on transport. Boy oh boy was I wrong. Santiago has great study guides and walks you through the entirety of the laws with question time, quiz testing and a final test. With this course you also get some extremely handy workbooks and an out of service criteria book. Extremely helpful when you’re in the business. Check out this class especially if you’re in the business and you’ll see things quite clearly.
In the DOT industry you will never know it all or stop learning. Santiago is amazing on what he coaches you through, he is a mind full of knowledge and wisdom! It has been the best experience in training I have attended in the 15+ years of my career. His way of coaching is unforgettable, and I must say unique, but it goes a long way when having to make decisions that will keep the company you work for safe and in compliance.
Santiago, thank you for all the hard work and dedication you give each day and allowing the attendees to continue to have the opportunity to have you as mentor through this program.
I highly recommend this training to all levels of DOT knowledge new beginners as well as long term high skilled attendees. -Thank you.
The instructor, Santiago Talamantez, was very informative and covered a lot of educational information that now benefits me and my company.
Great teacher, received excellent education over DOT, will be attending more classes soon!
Great class to attend very knowledgeable and good material.
This class taught me more than I could ever imagine in just three days! The literature handed out was invaluable with Fed. Reg. Ref#s to back it up leaves little to no room for argument. Santiago has a real talent for teaching an old dog new tricks.
Santiago did an amazing job at teaching our class , I gained a lot of knowledge in this course which will ultimately help me within my department ! He provided us with the materials we need to succeeded and be in compliance. Definitely recommend his class to anyone who wants to further their knowledge !
Instructor Santiago Talamantez is an excellent Instructor, he provided clear and accurate explanations. I highly recommended attending his courses.
I recommend this course to anyone in the trucking industry, there so many things to learn. I’m going to continue with another course with Safety Compliance & Training LLC, Santiago was super understanding and answered all questions.

I had a valuable experience with this course. It provided me with a wealth of knowledge, and I was particularly impressed with Santiago’s ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and concise manner. His expertise and teaching style made the learning process effective. I highly recommend this course to anyone in the trucking industry looking to enhance their compliance knowledge.
I have attended many trainings, but this one stands out as one of the best. Santiago has a unique perspective on DOT, having worked as both a DOT officer and in logistics. This gives him a deep understanding of how companies in west Texas operate. What sets Santiago apart is his commitment to presenting facts rather than personal opinions, always referencing the relevant 49 CFR 385 regulations. I am excited to attend the upcoming 3-day manager training!
Very good course, learned a lot, and excellent presentations!
I attended the 3 day DOT Compliance Training and found it to be very informative. Santiago knows the DOT regulations 100 percent. I will be signing up for his other courses for sure.
The course was fantastic, Santiago was a phenomenal teacher. Very clearly goes over what is required of companies and individuals who will be dealing with Federal and Local regulations on a daily basis. Incredibly helpful and worth your time.
The class did show where our company lacked in areas of compliance. This was a great choice that we made to take this course and we will be taking more.
I been in the oilfield since 2010 and have worked for some of the biggest service companies in the world. However after taking this DOT Compliance Manager Training, I will only use Safety Compliance & Training for my training and my team. Santiago is a great teacher who explain everything so everybody understands the material. He did an outstanding job. Make sure to sign yourself or team up for any safety training he provides.
Excellent course!!! Help with all documents and processes!
Mr. Santiago is very knowledgeable and thorough. Not only was he a DOT Officer but also worked in the industry. He knows his stuff. He is very helpful and respectful. He will answer any questions that you may have. It was an excellent class and my company is already talking about signing me up for the monthly classes.
I am new to the transportation industry, after spending 25 years in the construction industry I was eager to learn what I was up against with the DOT and managing a successful workforce. This training provided me with the knowledge and confidence to manage my team. Along with an outstanding outline of the topics, the instructor also shared the attendees with all the documents we might need. I know that I would not have received this type of information from another vendor, and not for the price! I’ll continue to rely on Safety Compliance & Training going forward!
I recently had the pleasure of attending Santiago’s DOT compliance training session, and I must say, it was an absolutely fantastic experience. Santiago’s knowledge, expertise, and passion for the subject matter were evident from the moment the training began until the very end.
Not only was Santiago incredibly well-prepared and organized, but he also managed to make a potentially dry and complex topic incredibly engaging and accessible. His ability to break down complicated regulations into easily understandable concepts was truly impressive. He kept the session interactive and encouraged questions, ensuring that everyone in the room felt included and had a chance to participate.
What sets Santiago apart is his genuine enthusiasm for DOT compliance. He went above and beyond to provide real-world examples and practical advice, making the training relevant and applicable to our specific industry. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and it was clear that he genuinely cared about helping us navigate the complexities of DOT regulations.
Furthermore, Santiago’s training style was dynamic and adaptable. He seamlessly adjusted the pace and content of the training based on the needs and level of understanding of the participants. Whether you were a seasoned professional or completely new to DOT compliance, Santiago was able to tailor the training to meet your individual needs.
I highly recommend Santiago’s DOT compliance training to anyone in need of understanding and navigating the intricacies of DOT regulations. His expertise, passion, and engaging training style make him an exceptional choice for anyone looking to stay compliant and up-to-date in this ever-changing landscape.
Thank you, Santiago, for providing such an outstanding training experience. Your knowledge, enthusiasm, and dedication to helping others succeed in DOT compliance are truly commendable.
This is the second time I attend to Santiago´s courses and I really recommend everyone who is in Safety or wants to learn about Safety and compliance should take one of his courses. He takes the time to explain every detail, answer every question and gives you the necessary material to learn efficiently.
Great course for anyone in the transportation field , lots of knowledge coming out of the materials that is being taught.
The class was very interesting, educational and a pleasure to attend. Santiago was a very good instructor that keep it interesting and fun.
Mr. Talamantez excelled my expectations in the course. I received a plethora of clear and concise education in a short amount of time. He made learning enjoyable, which allowed me to benefit greatly to move toward new challenges better. I’m confident to state that for anyone needing any of Santiago’s courses, you will be enlightened and elevated in knowledge to further your potential. I’m humbled and grateful for this highly intelligent soul for making time to give others his best.
A great course with many teachings, where you learn a variety of new techniques, laws, and most importantly, how to keep the company’s office in order. Very satisfied with this course I recommend it 100%. I look forward to take another course in the future.
Muy buen curso, buen contenido todo lo que nos enseñó, es muy instructivo y se pone en la práctica todos los días. Es una orientación general de todo lo importante en la oficina y en la carretera para estás seguro y bien informativo de todo lo qué necesitamos.
Once again, great instruction! Going into full detail and of explaining each portion of the portion of the class. Asking questions to ensure students are capturing everything being explained and answering all our questions. Learned a lot from this course and I can’t wait to attend the next one.
I had 0% of knowledge about DOT and all the things it requires, but after attended this course I can say that I understand better and I have now a good idea of what does being a DOT manager means. The resources that I got from this course will help me a lot. Great instructor, he took the time to explain, detailed and gave good examples. He also he took the time to answer all of our questions and give us diverse answers. I can say that this course had everything to start and understand all about DOT, the main points and ideas, and the definitions and proofs of all the concepts.
I have had a Class A CDL for 30 years and thought that I had an understanding of what a compliance manager needed to do the job. Well I was wrong. After attending Santiago’s course I now have a true understanding and basic knowledge that I will need to accomplish my task to a higher level than I ever could have. The information that I received will allow me to surpass the expectations that I had in myself and for this I appreciate everything that was taught. Thank you Santiago.
I was very happy with whay I learned from this course. It taught me a lot on what to look for and what’s expected. Will recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about inspections.
Class was short and to the point . Stayed on topic as well as answered all questions . Great handouts for future reference . Highly recommend course to anyone wanting to stay current on DOT inspections and current changes .
Great class, very informative and really sets you up for advancing your knowledge and career.
Enjoyed the course and learned a lot. Great instructor.
Mr.Talamantez did a great job explaining the course and made sure we understood the importance in these audits. I think the experience he has in this field will help a lot of people succeed in this industry. I think its amazing wanting to share your knowledge and help others grow. I hope to attend more trainings and excel in this business with his help.
Enjoyed this class so much I want to keep going with my education. Instructor is the best! Made it so easy to understand all the information. Thank you!
Santiago is hands down the best instructor I have ever trained under. Visuals are key for me, and he made sure to provide every tool possible.
Santiago was a very knowledgeable instructor who took his time to explain the expectations of what will be needed in a routine DOT Audit and what to prepare for. Much appreciated. The knowledge and the forms are going to really help me prepare for the next phase. Thank you. Highly Recommend!
Enjoyed the course and all the info, very helpful. Thank you!
Great presentation! Very easy to follow, moved at a good pace and extremely thorough.
Thank you, sir.
Great presentation.
This was my second class taken with Mr. Talamantez and was just as informative as the first he goes into great detail on the rules and regulation of the FMSCA and state requirements. My respect to Mr. Talamantez that has taken the time out to educate him self to be able to help educate companies and personal to be compliant in DOT. Keep up the great work sir. Looking forward to see all the great training you will offer in the future.
Thank you for the invite and the training. So much information but great at the same time.
Santiago was phenomenal and an excellent teacher.
Great class!! Excellent information provided.
Loved Santiago’s class! Straight to the point! I learned a lot in this class.!
This was the most informative training I have ever attended. Mr. Talamantez was the most knowledgeable instructor that I have had the pleasure to be trained. I give this instructor 5 STARS!
Very good course and very informative.
This is the second class of have taken with Santiago and it did not disappoint. this class actually taught me a lot of things i did not know, and the way it is taught makes it easy to understand. 5 stars for sure! I would recommend anyone in a DOT manager position to take this course.
I went into this class with 20+ years in the trucking industry. I found out very fast I didn’t know what I thought I did. This class was very informative. I would recommend this to not only the office guys but also drivers.
Before I attended this coarse I had minimal knowledge of the DOT rules and regulations. After attending this course I have gained the knowledge and skills to return to my company and apply the knowledge obtained to maintain the company’s DOT and be in compliance. Thank you Santiago look forward to the advanced class.
Very informative course that I wish existed 5 years ago. Instructor was well organized with material and presentation. I highly recommend his courses for anyone interested in learning the facts around DOT Compliance.
Was a very informative class. Being a driver for many years and moving into the role of DOT Manager, I have some experience. However, I was able to learn a lot of things I did not know. The instructor covered every detail and was very good at teaching and I look forward to the next course.
This class was definitely the best training I’ve ever done. Santiago is very knowledgeable in the material he teaches, he gives a lot of real life examples of what he is teaching and he takes the extra time to be sure that everyone in his classes are comprehending what is being taught instead of just speaking on it and moving on. In his classes you are getting a mix of videos, pictures, life experiences, on top of a really well thought out powerpoint so no matter what kind of learner you are he has something for everyone to be able to grasp the material. He also provides a copy of his powerpoint for you in a good quality booklet amongst other really good material, cheat sheets and booklets all for you to take with you to continue learning even after you leave the class. I highly recommend this class to anyone and everyone in a safety position; it is absolutely worth your money and your time and I look forward to taking more of Santiago’s classes.
Is very good and really appreciate attending this course.
I 100% recommend Santiago’s 3-Day DOT Compliance Course. His experience as an enforcer and educational background is extremely impressive. I had very little knowledge before the class, but now he was able to make me feel more confident and gave me the tools to be able to succeed. Great instructor, highly recommend! 😊
Santiago was definitely informative. The material is simplified as much as possible, and clears up a lot of grey areas that you may have.
Santiago’s training is very thorough. He teaches the material as well as how to find the answers you need after you leave the training. He has experience not only as a DOT Inspector, and State Trooper but also as a former DOT Manager. Because of his experience he’s able to offer training from the Law Enforcement side as well as the “company side”. I’m able to go from the classroom to the office and apply his training right away. I’m so grateful I found this training. It’s really helped me understand what is needed to help my company succeed and be DOT Compliant.
I’m very Impressed!! DOT Compliance Manager Training Course it’s the BEST. Very Informative and extensive training.
I have been driving a truck in the oilfield for 20 + years. I thought that I knew most of the driving regulations in trucking. I was wrong! This 3 day class was the best thing that has happened for me. I am glad that I was able to take it in Midland. I learned so much in the three days, so much knowledge that I want to move forward with the other classes that he has to ensure proper compliance and training of employees under me.
Thank you sir,
Stan
Santiago was very knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining the material and was very useful.
Wow. What can I say. After taking this course I can truly say I am a much better and knowledgeable employee for my company. I found out real quick that I was not at the level I thought I was. Santiago’s method of teaching and tools he gives you, make it so much easier to understand the rules and regulations of DOT. There’s no other course out there better to help cover and understand this topic. Thanks again Santiago for putting this presentation together to help better my career and position in an industry where safety is not really explained and enforced.
Santiago is very educated in DOT as he has worked in both side in the DOT world. He was very detailed in every chapter we touched. He was a very good instructor and highly recommend him!!
Extremely impressed!! The curriculum was very thorough and supportive of all learning types visual, verbal,& hands on. His delivery of explanation, examples and followup conversation unraveled the many misconceptions of DOT interpretation and actually taught DOT regulations without opinion or false information. In addition to the curriculum Santiago goes beyond classroom training to ensure post assistance offering many options such as video, phone call, and even subscription to an advanced means of references discussed during training for refreshment. He is extremely knowledgeable in the field and his background experience support his teaching method and information provided. I will definitely be continuing my educational options with this same instructor in other courses in the future. I recommend for many who don’t have an avenue to learn more about DOT compliance to take this course instructed by Santiago.
Santiago was very informative and knowledgeable on subject matter but most of all presented the class in a manner that wasn’t dry and kept everyone engaged. Was most impressed with the quality of handouts that we were giving to us for our benefit and can tell he is constantly trying to improve his course and the amount of information that is available to us because it most definitely is a lot of information to try to absorb in 3 days. He has other courses available and I will personally try to attend everything I can. Would recommend to anyone trying to move into this area.
This 3-Day Course was by far the most educational course I have attended. Santiago’s experience and educational background made this course even more exciting. His instructional methods kept the group involved and eager to learn.
I took the DOT manager course at Midland College. It has made me feel more confident and better prepared in DOT compliance. I highly recommend on taking the course if you’re in a DOT management position or in the trucking industry.
This class was very informative. the instructor was well educated on the topics he presented. I recommend this course for future education in this industry.
Excelente su capacitacion su curso entendible ameno y se aprende uno bien!

Awesome class gave great perspectives from DOT side and commercial company side, he offers a one stop shop for everything to stay with in DOT compliance. Put at ease with DOT myths and can enforce compliance with information and material to back it up.
GREAT SEMINAR/TRAINING VERY INFORMATIVE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED SANTIAGO IS VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE DEFINITELY WILL CONTINUE ATTENDING HIS SEMINAR/TRAINING
Great course on how to do an commercial vehicle inspection and also understand what DOT looks for during an inspection.
BY far one of the best trainings, I have gotten. Very knowledgeable and explements all the proper information you need. highly recommend this class.
I’ve attended 3 different courses and will continue to attend from Mr. Santiago and I’ve learned so much in all of them. Mr. Santiago has a lot of knowledge and is willing to share it all. I encourage anyone in the Safety field to attend any class he has to offer. Thank you Mr. Santiago for the knowledge!!!
The seminar is highly recommended, Santiago is very knowledgeable and gives very clear information.
MUY RECOMENDADO PARA TODAS LAS COMPAÑIAS QUE QUIEREN EVITAR MULTAS, TE OTORGA MUCHO MATERIAL DE APOYO.
Excelente informacion, muy recomendable!
It was very informative; Santiago is very knowledgeable and went through intense detail of the DOT Auditing process and what to expect, what to work on, and answers to any questions anyone has. I would highly recommend Santiago to any transportation company that is looking to do things the correct way.
This was a very informative seminar with great visuals and easy to follow curriculum. Thank you for all the useful information.
It was a great seminar. It touched based on all of the main parts the DOT asked me in my Audit.
El curso al que asiste que el de gerente de cumplimiento DOT es totalmente NECESARIO para cada empresa transportista con operaciones en US. El nivel de detalles y conocimiento que obtienes ademas del material de trabajo tienen lo necesario para ponerte a trabajar despues del curso en remediar la situacion de tu empresa.
The seminar was very educational and informative. I like the Zoom class and the slides presented during this time. At my own time I’m able to go back and review anything that I missed.
Excited for future classes with Mr. Santiago.
Thank you, again.
Angie DeLosSantos
CAPACITACION MUY COMPLETA Y CLARA Y DE MUCHA AYUDA, ME GUSTARIA MUCHO SEGUIR ASISTIENDO A ESTE TIPO DE CAPACITACIONES.
We have had our authority for a month. Couldn’t find what we needed to put in our drivers file. When I found the training webinar I had no idea every thing I was going to learn. I enjoyed the way he explained everything where I could understand it. Gave the area you could find it in the FMCSA handbook and explained what it meant he always willing to take questions and answers so you can understand. I would definitely recommend this webinar to people that just got their authority. So much to know.
For me the course was a new experience, I was totally unaware of how the DOT works, my job is to follow up on accidents in the United States and I realized how important it is to know the DOT Regulations to be able to carry out a legal process in a way that can be managed and not be huge losses of money for the company.
I am very grateful for the course given and look forward to new courses!
I have looked for months for a thorough DOT Compliance Course to stack into my EHS training and was lucky enough to come across what Santiago is doing. Well worth the price of admission and then some. Course was very helpful for understanding the minimum requirements of DOT fleet management for both inter and intrastate commerce. Cannot recommend these courses enough for anyone starting a trucking company or trying to establish a foundational knowledge of DOT Compliance. The guidance and training materials supplied throughout the course will be invaluable to furthering my understanding in the subject matter. Would recommend training with Santiago to all companies that operate DOT regulated vehicles.
To All,
The class is very informative and in depth with a lot of information. There is a great class atmosphere, information, and experiences are shared by all. You will receive everything you need from this course; from pens to references, Santiago gives you what you need.
He brings great experiences from his law enforcement side to him actually working in the business side. He is a well rounded professional. He even brings law enforcement agent to the class, and you get to question about what they look for in a DOT stop of vehicles. I will definitely will be attending the other courses he offers. Thank you.
Respectfully,
Joe
Santiago is extremely knowledgeable and clearly outlines the things you need to know to stay compliant with DOT. Definitely recommend this course to anyone that deals with DOT compliance for their company. I knew I would learn a lot, but I learned way more than I expected.
I had a great experience taking this class. It brought me up to the level of DOT training that I needed and taught me the difference between what I thought DOT was and what DOT actually is.
Recomiendo ampliamente el curso al 100%, el instructor tiene excelente dominio del tema por su experiencia como oficial ,como inspector y consultor, le da mucha ventaja con diferencia a otros cursos que se ofrecen ya que conoce todas la partes involucradas en una audtoria.
Excelente persona, excelente dominio del tema, excelente material.
Un excelente curso, se aprende mucho sobre las regulaciones de la FMCSA, 100% recomendado.
Highly recommend this very informative course to those that want to gain further DOT knowledge. Santiago is a great instructor and knows his stuff 100%. He explained everything with in depth details. And makes sure you are not left with any questions, doubts or concerns. He breaks everything down in a way that will have you engaged and you’ll for sure obtain a full understanding of all the DOT regulations. Thanks Santiago!
This course was so informative. Straight up facts taught, backed up with evidence and experience. Great for anyone who’s barely starting like myself to anyone whose been in the business for years and wants to know how to do things correctly.
This was a very informative class. By attending this class, I feel I will be able to better prepare our company for a possible DOT audit. I would recommend any that is in the trucking industry to attend this class.
Got a lot of great information that will for sure help our company, its a good deal you get more than what you pay for. I recommend this class 100%.
Highly recommended training class. Very informative and well explained by Mr. Talamantez.
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Santiago and came to know him as a precious asset to our team. I do highly recommend it. Everything was in detail. Love it!!
Santiago’s DOT training was the best training class I have ever been to! I will definitely be signing up for his Advanced DOT class when it becomes available!
The training was terrific. Extremely informative and engaging. Looking forward to the extended class.. thanks Mr. Talamantez!
Attended this class to further my knowledge in the DOT regulations. Santiago was well prepared and organized and presented well. I would highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to further their knowledge.
Great info and study material provided! Definitely recommend this class.
The class was very well structured and passed fast. Never got bored of it, since there was always something new to learn. I learned so much from this course and learned new things that I didn’t know needed to be complied with. Definitely worth going and a very good investment!
A lot of great information in this course. I came in with very little knowledge of DOT requirements and now feel comfortable with many of the areas. I now know where to go to find the information I need. The resources provided in class are very valuable.
Very satisfied with the course. The information provided by Mr. Talamantez was extremely helpful. I took the course wanting to know what I needed to have if I would ever get a DOT Audit and came out with more knowledge than I expected. It was very intense but well worth it. I highly recommend this course.
The class was very informative, for those that are in the transportation industry.
Great material and knowledge to use in an every day DOT regulated operation.
This 3 day course is a great, in depth course for all levels of DOT knowledge.
You will definitely learn more than what you will from other courses. This course is well explained, simplified, and the materials given to students is more than what you’d get from any courses.
I highly recommend this course to anyone who’s new to DOT or needs a refresher.
I fully appreciated this course. I am new to this field and I was pretty overwhelmed but after leaving this class I’m more confident that I can go back and utilize what I learned. I highly recommend this class to anyone that wants to further their knowledge. I will be attending more of Santiago’s classes in the future.
Excellent class. Extremely informative. I felt I was educated and understood a lot in DOT until I took the class. I feel now that I have a lot more confidence in my day to day with a much clearer outlook on the subject.
Santiago is a world of knowledge and an excellent communicator. I look for forward to the next class I can take with him.
I’ve was introduced to Mr. Santiago Talamantez several years ago, and his knowledge is unprecedented in this subject matter. His extensive experience and knowledge as a past DOT Trooper and Safety Manager puts him in a field of knowledge above the rest. This course is not only worth your time but the resources received are unmatched to anything else. I definitely completed this course with renewed faith in my ability and eagerness to continue to grow in my DOT knowledge with extreme confidence and guidance from Mr. Santiago. I highly recommend business owners as well as staff and or anyone who want to understand this high demand industry to attend not only this course but any course offered my Mr. Talamantez because his level of expertise is next to none in my opinion. Blessed and grateful to consider him not only a friend but fantastic instructor who is invested in his course material and in the success of all those who attend his courses. Continued success in all your future endeavors.
Probably the best DOT course I ever sat through. Santiago is probably the most knowledgeable DOT instructor I’ve ever known. Would highly recommend this course to anyone in a DOT position.
Excellent course. I learned to see SAFETY in a different way. Now i have a lot of work. Thank you Santiago. Great master.
The 3 day training was well worth it, it gives you a lot of information and resources that are well explained by the instructor. I liked that is also practical with exercises where you apply what was learned in the safety regulations.
I felt confident in the fact I would leave Mr. Santiago’s course with so much more knowledge then I had before. From the moment the introduction to the course was made I felt like I was at the right and only place there was for ME to be able to gain much more knowledge in DOT Compliance. The way the information was taught to my class would even perpetuate even greater questions I’d ask to my team before. All in all a 5/5 training, and a 10/10 instructor.
Great wealth of knowledge that was gained in this training. Instructor was straight to the point and cleared some questions I had.
In my seventeen year career as a CMV driver, I have not heard anybody give this kind of training. When I signed up, I was not sure how it was going to be presented. However, I was surprised since the first hour I was there Mr. Santiago has a strong knowledge from his previous work as a Trooper of the DOT regulations and explain in vivid detail those regulations. I am very impress of his presentation, all the material he put together to hand you down and knowledge you get about those regulation and the ability he give you to understand how important this is when it becomes a accident with one of your trucks in the road. It’s worth this training, of Compliance Manager for DOT regulations every penny you invest. Every trucking company and their owners need to take this training for the safety of your drivers and the safety of other drivers on the road and for the safety of the overall bottom line of your company.
Very good training. DOT updates. great material
Excelente curso, proporciona las herramientas necesarias para poder leer, interpretar y aplicar la legislacion del DOT.

I took this course and it focuses on things that all Safety Managers should know. It has helped me to understand more my job. It is a very complete course, from the information that it contains, straight from the book, to all the material that is provided to work with during the course. It is very hands on and it gives you real world examples of the transportation business and from the instructor’s experience.
Great class, very easy to follow. Instructor takes his time to make sure we understand what is he is teaching. I would recommend it to any trucking company. Money well spent , keep up the good work. 👍🏾
Great course!!! Truly helped myself and company gain a clear understanding on regulations. Instructor dedication and passion to coach and mentor those attending this course made it a great experience. Although a lot of information is taught in short time (almost feeling over whelmed), instructor presented curriculum in a way that didn’t leave us feeling unprepared. I personally appreciate what Santiago is doing in preparing the DOT managers to better themselves and their organizations. Look forward in attending second week of training. Again, thanks Santiago and see you in April.
If you want to learn the truth nothing but the truth take this class, every single penny is so worth it.
He’s the most realistic and honest instructor you ever find.
Santiago delivered a class that was very informational answered any and all questions and spent time making sure we knew and was satisfied with the questions he answered. I would highly recommend this course.
Very informative class and even being in the industry dealing with this everyday you still learn something new. I urge anyone in the industry to attend this course and continue learning.
Un curso muy recomendable en donde aprendes acerca de las reglas de la FMCSA.
Personalmente es una herramienta que adquiri para impartirla en mi lugar de trabajo.
Excelente curso! recomendado al 100% ya que se te explica a fondo todo lo que se debe saber en este ramo del Transporte en cuanto a las regulaciones del DOT…
Excelente curso!! recomendado para toda persona que este en este rubro de trabajo. En lo personal aprendi muchas otras cosas que no sabia sobre las regulaciones del US DOT, soy fiel creyente de que la educacion es algo muy importante al igual que seguirte capacitando y actualizandote para seguir a la vanguardia en cuestion de todos estos temas. Muchas gracias a Santiago por el buen curso/entrenamiento.
Esta muy bien el curso, Santiago provee mucha información y da material para interpretar mejor las regulaciones.
This class was very informative, and Mr. Talamantez was very engaging with every student in the class. As a driver operator, it was very beneficial to learn more on the DOT side including out of service criteria, driver qualification files, and vehicle maintenance files. I highly recommend taking this class if you’re a driver and want to learn more of the DOT side or if you want to eventually get off the truck and be part of the DOT compliance team for your company.
I came in to the class with zero experience, but after taking the class I learned a lot more than I could of ask for. The classes are easy to understand and thanks to the teacher who is very knowledgeable. Got my money worth, I strongly recommend this courses to everyone. I plan to take more courses.
One of the best investments that any company could make! It’s a very detailed course that is helping me out a lot; I was more than satisfied and really happy that I was able to attend. Very good instructor and pretty straightforward with the combination of material given makes it even more worth it.. definitely recommend it.
I highly recommend taking this training, for new or established companies. By far it will be the best investment for 2022. It’s detailed and straightforward. Guaranteed that it will save you $$$ by preventing citations. Also, the take home material is above and beyond of what was expected. Thank you, Santiago! 🙏🏼 Great job and it is worth every penny.
If you’re going to invest in yourself or your company, do it with this training. He just doesn’t tell you what the regulations are; he shows you where they are at and has several exercises for you to do to make sure you understand. He makes sure you get the topic before moving forward. Don’t think about the price because I honestly think this class is cheap for the knowledge he gives you!
This is an excellent training! Great Content! Santiago provided training on everything I was needing information on, as well as clarifications on many misconceptions and misinformation I was given previous to this training. It is a must for anyone handling DOT.
I would recommend this class to anybody looking to either the enter the field or refresh your skills. The instructor is very knowledgeable and invites questions. He keeps you engaged and the class is not regular boring classroom setting. You definitely get your moneys worth!
Class was extremely informative, great explanations of exactly what the facts and laws are instead of opinions, hearsay, and interpretations.
Very informative, very in depth. Been a trucker for 15 years and learned things I didn’t know and should have known. Cleared up lots of myths and trucker talk and misleading information. Ton of knowledge gained in a 3 day period, looking forward to a 2nd week course and become a more educated DOT safety supervisor.
Starting as a new owner/operator, this course was very informative and many of the rules and regulations applied to the hotshot field which I did not know. I highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to do any kind commercial vehicle movement.
5*’s no doubt, IT’S WORTH IT…..
Un curso con muy valiosa informacion, muy completo, ayuda mucho para conocer la importancia de hacer las cosas bien, y llevar un buen registro y procemiento en lo que es el transporte.
Objetivo alcanzado, información de lo más actualizado y realmente lo esperado, agradecido con el instructor Santiago, pues el material que impartió fue de gran calidad y la forma de desempeñar la clase fue estratégica para el aprendizaje.
A fairly comprehensive course, increases knowledge, very complete with a variety of updated examples, an excellent interpretation and instruction on the subject. So professional, congratulations!!
First I would like to say this course was very informative and included both Texas state law and federal regulations. Being a 3 day course and actually learn that material was amazing and was well worth the price; not to mention Mr. Talamantez kept the class interesting and wanting to learn and ask questions in the different sections of the course. I recommend this course hands down… 5 stars for sure.
This was a very informative course that I really recommend anyone to take whether you’re a beginner or not. The information given and the material given for you to take home is very useful. Can’t wait to take the 2nd part of this course.
Santiago’s teaching methods are great. Very clear and concise. Doesn’t waste your time. Knowledge provided worth every dime. Material presented & provided was put together with a lot of thought.
Much gracias por el entrenamiento, excellente curso! Muy informativo, vale la pena, la inversion y el tiempo invertido. Para todos que andan buscando orentacion y apollo con la regulaciones requeridas por DOT en Safety/Compliance este es el curso que debes de tomar.
Es un curso muy completo nos prepara para llevar una compañía de transporte por completo desde un inicio y para hacer las cosas como lo marca la ley. Además incluye todas las herramientas necesarias para desarrollarlo en la compañía al 100%.
Gracias y que Dios te bendiga por tanta dedicación.
El curso es bastante bueno, abarca los aspectos generales de la regulacion de DOT y la mejor parte es que te provee de material en Español que puedes llevarte a tu empresa para leerlo con calma y consultarlo. Te provee aparte de formatos, ejemplos e incluso de que documentacion necesitas tener en tus archivos por chofer para cumplir con lo requerido por DOT. Fui parte de la primera clase en Español y estoy segura que ira mejorando cada vez. Santiago promueve mucho la participacion del grupo durante la clase y en general el ambiente que se maneja durante todo el entrenamiento es de amabilidad, respeto y con libertad de hacer todas las preguntas necesarias.
This is a great class if you are new to Safety/Compliance and a must if you think you know Safety/Compliance, this class will shatter any fairytales you may have heard in or around the industry and will give you straight answers and although a bit pricey it is worth every penny and will leave you asking when the next class will be.
I can’t recommend this class enough! As the DOT Manager in our office, I learned so much that will not only make our operations safer, but more efficient and productive. Santiago is extremely knowledgeable and shares his knowledge and experience in a way that keeps the entire class engaged. There was a great balance of teaching, discussion and hands on learning. Having the tools and resources we need to understand regulations and laws is invaluable.
Why did YOU miss out on this training course??!
Last week I attended this DOT Compliance Manager Course in Corpus Christi. This course was very informative and the instructor, Santiago Talamantez, was great!! He knows his curriculum and is VERY knowledgeable of the materials that he presents. He didn’t sugarcoat anything. As he gave us the materials, he explained why and in detail.
He would put you on the seat answering questions and included some short small work assignments/quizzes in class to test your knowledge of the materials that he gave. Going into this training course, I was somewhat knowledgeable of a few things, but some other things that I was not. Now after taking this course, I have a better understanding of what is fact and what is needed to know working in this industry.
Mr. Talamantez, thank you for your time and effort giving me this knowledge and I can’t wait until the next course!
Now everyone reading this, if you are thinking about attending this course/class, you better do so! I highly recommend this course because it is well worth the cost and time to attend. If you own a trucking company or work in management, I highly encourage y’all to attend and get educated on DOT Compliance and the liabilities associated with operating as a motor carrier!
I had the opportunity to attend the DOT Compliance Managers Course in Corpus Christi, Texas on the week of May 11-14. This course was by far the best DOT course that I have attended. Mr. Talamantez is very knowledgeable and I’m glad that he shared his knowledge with the class. Going into the class on the first day I believed that my knowledge was pretty high, but as we went along through the course I realized that my knowledge was not what I that it was. Once again Thank You Mr. Talamantez. Can’t wait for the next course..
I highly recommend this class, well worth the cost to attend! I also encourage owners and managers to attend.
This was a very informative and helpful class for anyone in the Oilfield Industry who deals with the transportation of goods and services in Inter as well as Intra state. It is well worth the time and money. Highly recommend!!
This was an awesome DOT training class. As someone that has attended a lot of training classes in the transportation industry over the last 40 years, this class was hands down the best. Santiago has so much knowledge in this field and is happy to share all of it with the class attendees. If your company operates any size CMV in Texas or other States, this class will definitely help you understand the rules you must comply with. I highly recommend this training !!! Bobby Tuttle / CIRT
This class is the best class I’ve attended. Instructor is professional and makes it interesting enough to where you’re paying attention and learning. He doesn’t hesitate to take your question and shows you in the book where your answer is. Best DOT class hands down. If you haven’t spent your stimulus or income tax check, spend it here.
Santiago is a great instructor, very organized, explained the material very well. I highly recommend this training for ANY transportation company. This training is great for someone starting off in the transportation industry, or even someone who is wanting to be up to date with DOT regulations/safety material.
Thank you!
I attended the four-day DOT Compliance Manager Training in Midland, TX. The course was laid out in easy to understand sections. Trainer was extremely knowledgeable in all material. Was provided several tools to use going forward. I would recommend this training for entry level DOT managers.
I attended the four day DOT Compliance Manager Training in Midland, TX. The course was laid out in easy to understand sections. Trainer was extremely knowledgeable in material. Was provided several tools to use going forward. I would recommend this training for entry level DOT mangers to the more experienced DOT persons. Look forward to more training in the future.
This four day course was very thorough, detailed and organized for someone who has very little knowledge to seasoned veterans that are eager to learn. I really appreciate all the information, questions asked/answered and the references to be confident in protecting the public, company personnel and ultimately our company. Thank you Santiago!
Great course, highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning about the regulations and safety. The lecture is extremely detailed and you can practice everything you learn at the end of the course inspecting a vehicle yourself.
Santiago takes the time to make sure you understand the rules and that you know how to navigate through the regulations for future reference. The training is very interactive and Santiago makes it super easy to understand the topics. He encourages you to ask questions and challenges you to learn more.
By the end of the training you are able to comprehend the complex rules and regulations that are required by DOT.
Highly recommend this course! I’ve been in the Transportation Industry for 14+ years and had some DOT compliance knowledge, but with this course I found out I had much more to learn. I and did learn it in the 4 days we were in the course. Great instructor, he knows how to explain compliance rules and help you find answers to questions.
I strongly believe that all trucking companies should send their Safety or DOT Manager or anyone in the company dealing with the compliance to this course. This training will help anyone better understand not only HOW to comply with the regulations, but get a better understanding of WHY we need to comply.
We never stop learning and you we never know what we can do until we try!
Great class and very informative. Santiago always has a positive attitude and answers all questions and makes sure you understand everything he is teaching. Santiago doesn’t pretend to know it all even though he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of DOT and safety and he will show you how to find the answers your looking for in the books so you understand the actual laws. The classroom materials are detailed and help you follow along with his instruction. I highly recommend any course he has to offer; this was the best safety training I have ever attended. Looking forward to his next training in Laredo.
The training is rich and abundant in safety rules & regulations. It is defined and explained in a way that the trainee can be confident on where to go to and what to look for related to FMCSA regulations & minimum compliance. The class is very interactive, open to Q & A with honest clarifications and sound understanding of the regulations from Santiago Talamantez.
Two words: Awesome course!
As a safety professional of 12 years, I have been through several DOT training courses and thought I knew almost everything that I needed to know, but never learned as much as I did when I went through Santiago’s DOT Course. Santiago was very knowledgeable and explained things so they were easy to understand. I would highly recommend his classes; it’s obvious he takes the time to fully understand the topics he is teaching.
The instructor, Santiago Talamantez was extremely knowledgeable and provided a wealth of information about DOT Regulations; what types of drivers licenses are needed for different vehicle combinations, Texas Intrastate Exemptions to the regulations, driver qualifications, and vehicle maintenance (and so much more)… He was answered every question anyone had in depth and kept us interested throughout the whole course. This course was exactly what I needed to further my knowledge in DOT Compliance. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone that has questions or needs training in this field. I appreciate all of Santiago’s hard work and dedication he has put into this course and his willingness to share it… I’m looking forward to taking his 4 day course in February 2021.
Honestly, when I signed up for the DOT Compliance Seminar, I thought I knew everything and all I was gonna do was reinforce my knowledge about DOT. I was completely wrong! There’s a lot more information to this that we need to know and I couldn’t be any more satisfied with this course. Just how Santiago said “Everything you know before we start, make sure to put it in your pocket for now”. You can’t go wrong with this course and even better when it’s a person who has been in this industry for so long. I am looking forward to the four day course.
Thank You Santiago!
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND WORTH THE INVESTMENT!
Prior to attending the DOT Compliance Course taught by Santiago I knew just the basics about it or so I thought. After the 1st day of the training I realized I didn’t really know anything about DOT. This course that Santiago has put together is by far the best DOT training I have ever attended. He is very thorough with the information as well as an engaging presenter who allows opportunities to ask lots of questions. This seminar by far has more than met my expectations and would HIGHLY recommend anyone wanting to expand their knowledge in this industry contact him for his upcoming seminar dates.
If it was not for the training I did with Santiago, my little girl would be gone! While at a family BBQ , my 1-year old daughter began choking and I had to perform CPR on her. Thank God for the training we did and remembering to keep calm like he tells you in the class, I can’t thank him enough. I would highly recommend everyone going to Santiago for any training needs.
Santiago Talamantez is one the most intelligent, hard working people I have had the pleasure of working with and is a great family man too. When we worked together as Troopers conducting DOT inspections, Santiago was able to comprehend and excel so quickly that our chain of command saw fit that he taught some of the harder courses to new inspectors and troopers. A few of those courses included hazardous materials and cargo tank certification. Santiago is very professional and respected and is still often times called by some of our personnel for answers to questions they may have while out in the field. This shows the impact that his knowledge and character can also have on your company and your employees by using his services.
Mr. Talamantez’ demeanor exhibits a passion for improving not only compliance, but more importantly safety. His perspective as a former enforcement officer gave us a unique insight into how the DOT regulations, applicable to our company, are actually enforced. He proved to be knowledgeable and practical in his advice, and his approach was that of a coach rather than a regulator. Hire him in confidence. We will be doing so again.
Hiring Santiago Talamantez was one of the best choices B&L could have made. He manages our DOT compliance, as well as our OSHA compliance. We hold monthly, informative meetings for both CDL drivers and shop workers. Santiago is clear as day, breaking down what the actual LAW is and what standards have to be met. We pride ourselves in being SAFE, PROFESSIONAL, AND EFFICIENT. Our drivers and equipment are safer on the road, then they have been before. The one thing that I appreciate and adds tremendous value to what he does, is his availability. I have called both day and night when certain situations arise, and he provides guidance.
