Pass Your Audit.
Starting a trucking company is more than getting a DOT number. New motor carriers are placed into a monitoring period and may be subject to a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration New Entrant Safety Audit.
We help you prepare, organize, and stay compliant.
What is a DOT New Entrant Audit?
When a new carrier receives operating authority or begins operations, FMCSA may conduct a New Entrant Safety Audit to verify that your business has the required safety management controls in place. This review often happens during the first months of operation.
Eight areas FMCSA checks during the audit
- Driver qualification files
- Drug & alcohol compliance
- Hours of service records
- Vehicle maintenance files
- Insurance and registration records
- Accident register
- Safety policies
- CDL requirements (if applicable)
Failing to prepare can lead to serious consequences
- Violations
- Corrective action requirements
- Delays in business growth
- Increased scrutiny
- Possible authority issues
Passing the audit helps establish your company on the right foundation.
