This DOT compliance audit checklist helps transport and logistics teams assess fleet and driver compliance. Review HOS logs, EDVIR completion, roadside inspection handling, collision review timeliness and documentation, root-cause analysis, coaching and training records, and adherence to discipline policies. Verify equipment inspections, defect repairs, and documentation within required timeframes. Confirm management understands DOT reportable accidents and OSHA-reportable injuries, and that new-hire and ramp-specific training is completed. Use the checklist to sample drivers and equipment, validate suspensions and breaks, and ensure documentation accuracy for safer operations and regulatory readiness.
