DOT COMPLIANCE MOCK AUDIT INFORMATION

The Road to DOT Compliance starts

with a DOT MOCK AUDIT

DOT Mock Audits and Onsite Compliance Assistance Visits

As many business managers have learned, DOT regulations are not just for trucking companies. If you are in ANY type business, including but not limited to construction, asphalt, manufacturing, importing, distribution, etc., and you need a 10,000-lb-plus truck for any business chores, chances are the DOT regulations apply to you.

The DOT made some adjustments in their fine amounts in 2016. Some of the changes were not extreme, some of them were intriguing. These changes do not even show up on the DOT Website as a news release. But sometimes, it is useful to review what some of the DOT’s potential fines are as a reality check. When was the last time you had a pair of new eyes look at your DOT Compliance program?

If you have not had a DOT Mock Audit, or a compliance assistance visit, you might not know what you don’t know. As a result, you could be making mistakes you don’t fully realize you are making. You can’t fix anything until you understand it.
So give us a call and schedule your DOT Mock Audit, or a DOT compliance assistance visit soon. When you know what you need to do, it won’t be hard to make it happen.

Our senior safety consultant, Mike England has experienced ‘both sides of the road’; not only does he have over 25 years of transportation safety management experience, but he is also a trained DOT Safety Investigator. During a DOT Mock Audit from DOT Compliance Help, Inc., you can find out what is wrong and get help fixing it before the DOT comes. Even if your DOT scores are not at an alert level, your road to DOT Compliance can start with a Mock Audit. You know what they say about ‘an ounce of prevention…’ Mike skillfully audits driver qualification files, hours of service paperwork, driver logs, insurance papers, your daily business practices, vehicle maintenance files, DOT drug and alcohol programs, all while working with your team to ensure they understand how to move forward after the DOT Mock Audit. You also receive an action report after the DOT Mock Audit is complete. We call it your ‘Roadmap to Compliance’. Like any good roadmap, this report prioritizes your areas of improvement for you and gives you ‘route suggestions’ to get going in an organized, efficient plan. The ‘Roadmap to Compliance’ report takes hard work, skill, expertise, and more to create – and you get all that through DOT Compliance Help, Inc.
