Here’s a brief overview of the areas that will be reviewed during a DOT audit:
General Company Information
Driver Qualification Files (DQFs)
Hours of Service (HOS) Records
Vehicle Maintenance Files
Accident register & Crashes(If you have more than 2 crashes for ever 1,000,000 miles traveled, you’re a prime target for a DOT audit.)
Drug & Alcohol Testing Program
Company Policies & Safety Procedures(My sweet spot!)
