Federal DOT Audit Preparation

Ensuring the Continued Operation of Your Business

An important aspect of remaining DOT-compliant by federal standards is fully preparing for a federal DOT audit. If you fall under one of the six safety-sensitive agencies, including FAA, FRA, FMSCA, PHMSA, FTA, and USCG, you must not only comply with nationwide regulations, you must also be prepared to show that you are following the proper protocols. These may include conducting random drug and alcohol testing, maintaining an ongoing drug and alcohol policy, reporting test results through proper channels, and carrying out the necessary supervisor training to spot potential drug or alcohol abuse/misuse.

With more than 10 years of experience in the industry, FastestLabs^® can help you with every aspect of federal DOT audit preparation. We know what will be looked at during your audit and can help you get the necessary paperwork in order. We understand the specific regulations that apply to your business and can help you make sure that an audit will be minimally disruptive to your day-to-day operations.

What Are the Main Elements of a DOT Audit?

There are four main factors that are examined during a federal DOT audit. These include:

• Drug and alcohol testing
• Driver qualifications
• Hours of service
• Vehicle maintenance

The DOT auditor may also take a look at your records to determine if proper supervisor training was carried out, whether or not tests were conducted on federal custody and control forms, and if the proper protocol was followed for drug and alcohol testing procedures.

Fastest Labs can help you prepare for every aspect of your upcoming federal DOT audit. Our staff can help you prove that you instated and carried out a random testing program, that you established a method of reporting test results, and that you completed the necessary supervisor training. We also offer MIS Reports for additional fees. For pricing and more information on FMCSA Clearinghouse compliance, contact Fastest Labs today!
