Every service designed to close compliance gaps before the FMCSA finds them.
Every driver you put behind the wheel requires a complete, audit-ready DQ file. One missing document can result in an out-of-service order, civil penalties, and liability exposure. CDL360 builds, maintains, and audits your DQ files so you never have a gap.
Under 49 CFR Part 391, carriers must maintain specific records for every commercial driver. The required documents include the application for employment, pre-employment motor vehicle record check (and annual review), certificate of road test, medical examiner's certificate, and annual review of driving record. Many carriers also miss the inquiry to previous employers requirement or fail to document the safety performance history properly.
Most carriers have gaps they don't know about.
A DOT compliance review can result in an Unsatisfactory safety rating — and an Unsatisfactory rating can shut down your business. Our audit preparation service has helped 500+ carriers receive Satisfactory ratings. We've never had a prepared client receive an Unsatisfactory.
FMCSA compliance reviews examine six areas: driver files, hours of service/ELD, drug and alcohol testing, vehicle maintenance records, hazardous materials, and accident records. The agency also reviews your CSA score across all 7 BASICs and may conduct roadside observations. A full compliance review typically takes 1–3 days and can be triggered by high CSA scores, an accident, or random selection.
Call us immediately. We can mobilize within 24 hours for urgent audit preparation. Don't go in unprepared.
99% DOT audit pass rate with CDL360 preparation.
High CSA BASIC scores attract FMCSA attention, trigger compliance reviews, and make it harder to get insurance and load brokers. CDL360 monitors your scores across all 7 BASICs, identifies improvable violations, and files DataQ challenges for erroneous or correctable data.
Average client reduces scores 25+ points in 90 days.
Part 382 requires carriers to participate in a random drug and alcohol testing program. Non-compliance can result in civil penalties up to $16,000 per violation per day. CDL360 manages your entire Part 382 program — from consortium enrollment to MRO services to return-to-duty protocols.
Most small carriers have gaps in their Part 382 program.
