DOT Audits Don’t Have to Be Scary. Let Us Handle the Pressure.
If you’re a motor carrier operating in the U.S., it’s not a question of if you’ll be audited by the FMCSA — it’s when. Whether you’re a new entrant or an established fleet, FMCSA audits can put your entire operation under a microscope.
That’s where we come in.
What is a DOT Audit?
A DOT audit (also called a Compliance Review or Safety Audit) is a detailed inspection of your company’s records, policies, and safety performance. FMCSA auditors will review your:
Driver Qualification Files
Drug & Alcohol Testing Records
Hours of Service (Logs & ELD)
Vehicle Maintenance Records
Accident Register & CSA Scores
Policies & Procedures
If you’re not fully prepared, one small mistake can result in:
⚠️ Fines
⚠️ Out-of-service orders
⚠️ Conditional or unsatisfactory safety ratings
⚠️ Loss of operating authority
Our Audit Support Services
We offer hands-on support before, during, and after the audit. You’ll get:
✔️ A full pre-audit review of your records
✔️ Checklists & gap analysis based on FMCSA standards
✔️ Help organizing and presenting your documents
✔️ Representation and communication support during audits
✔️ Post-audit support to correct violations or upgrade safety ratings
Why It Matters
Carriers who aren’t prepared often get downgraded or fined – and many lose contracts with brokers and shippers due to poor safety scores.
We’ve helped clients pass audits, reduce fines, and avoid shutdowns — all while staying compliant and stress-free.
Trusted. Experienced. Audit-Ready.
