DOT Diagnostic Audit & Assessment

One of our DOT consultants will perform an onsite, third-party audit of over 550 safety and compliance areas, including hazardous materials. Based on the results of that evaluation, you’ll receive a J. J. Keller® Performance Rating, the key indicator of the effectiveness of your safety & compliance program and a benchmark for future performance. You will also receive a thorough report of your diagnostic audit and assessment, details of the individual scores, recommendations for making improvements, and the guidance of our regulatory specialists.

We’ll also help prevent future audits and interventions by developing a long-term compliance program customized for your fleet. Audit services include a DOT Compliance Review if you’re selected for a Compliance Review or other investigation, a Safety Upgrade Request if you’re operating with a Conditional or Unsatisfactory Rating and want to submit a formal rating increase request, and a DOT New Entrant Safety Audit if you’re part of FMCSA’s new Entrant Program.
