Mock DOT Audit Checklist for FMCSA Compliance

Use this mock DOT audit checklist to prepare for FMCSA compliance reviews and internal audits. Assess financial responsibility and MCS-90, accident register, and vehicle marking requirements. Review driver qualification files, medicals, MVRs, road tests, applications, employment verifications, training receipts, and safety policies. Evaluate hours-of-service controls, recordkeeping and submissions, and identify violations of 11/14-hour, 60/70-hour, and break rules. Verify maintenance programs, annual inspections, DVIRs, out-of-service corrections, and qualified inspectors. Includes sections for household goods operations covering tariffs, estimates, arbitration, credit card rules, and release of goods. Ideal for carriers conducting a pre-DOT audit to reduce risk and improve readiness.
