DOT Audit Preparation

What is this service?

When the FMCSA or a state DOT agency schedules a compliance review or audit of your trucking business, The Trucker Consultant helps you prepare. We review your files, identify missing or incorrect records, explain what auditors look for, and help you organize your documentation so you are as prepared as possible.

Who needs it?

Any motor carrier that has been notified of an upcoming new entrant safety audit, compliance review, or focused investigation. Carriers who have received a warning letter from the FMCSA or have elevated SMS scores should also consider audit preparation before a formal review is initiated.

What happens if they do not file or comply?

A failed DOT audit can result in a conditional or unsatisfactory safety rating, which can lead to increased insurance premiums, shipper and broker blacklisting, and ultimately revocation of your operating authority. In serious cases, the FMCSA can issue an imminent hazard out-of-service order that shuts your operation down immediately.
