What does a DOT audit involve?
A DOT audit reviews your company’s safety records, such as driver qualification files, hours-of-service logs, vehicle maintenance files, drug and alcohol testing records, and proof of insurance, to check compliance with federal safety regulations.
How often do I need to update my MCS-150?
FMCSA requires motor carriers to update their MCS-150 (Motor Carrier Identification Report) every two years, on a schedule based on the last two digits of your USDOT number, and whenever your information changes.
Can FABIN help with DataQs requests?
Yes. We can help you review roadside inspection violations and prepare DataQs requests when you believe data on your safety record is inaccurate. FMCSA and the states decide the outcome.
What is the Clearinghouse requirement?
The FMCSA Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse is a database employers must query before hiring a CDL driver and at least once a year for each driver they employ, to check for drug and alcohol program violations.
Do you guarantee I’ll pass an audit?
No. Audit results are decided by FMCSA and state reviewers. We help you understand the requirements and get your records organized beforehand.
