Free DOT Risk Assessment
Nobody likes surprises during a DOT audit! Our Free DOT Risk Assessment is a no-obligation 30-minute to 1-hour Consultation designed to help carriers understand where they may be vulnerable.
During this conversation, we’ll review key areas of your operation, answer your questions, and let you know whether everything appears to be in good shape—or whether there are compliance issues that could lead to more expensive violations, fines, or an unsatisfactory safety rating.
What We'll Review
Our DOT Compliance Specialists will do a high-level overview of a number of items that are crucial for all carriers to have in order. After the assessment, we’ll determine how much help you need, if any.
- Driver Qualification Files
- Hours of Service Practices
- Drug & Alcohol Program
- Vehicle Maintenance & Inspection Records
- Accident History
- Safety Performance
- DOT Registration Information
- Previous Audit Findings
- Company Safety Processes
