What Our DOT Audit Preparation Includes

CDL360's audit preparation covers every area the FMCSA examines — so nothing is left to chance.

1

Full Mock Compliance Review

We conduct a complete mock review using actual FMCSA audit procedures. Our examiner plays the role of FMCSA investigator — asking all the same questions, requesting the same documents, and evaluating the same areas.

2

Documentation Gap Analysis

Every document reviewed for completeness, accuracy, and timeliness. We generate a written report showing every gap — driver files, maintenance records, ELD data, training records, accident reports, and more.

3

Corrective Action Plan

Prioritized action plan with timeline. We tell you exactly what to fix, in what order, and by when. We handle the fixes ourselves or guide your team step by step.

4

Day-Of Audit Support

CDL360 compliance specialists are available to be on-site during the actual compliance review. We manage document requests, communicate with FMCSA investigators, and ensure nothing goes sideways.

5

Post-Audit Resolution

If an issue was noted during the audit, we develop and submit the corrective action plan required by FMCSA. We track responses and ensure compliance is documented and confirmed.
