New Entrant Safety Audit?

I received an email requesting that I log into FMCSA and provide documents for my new entrant safety audit. I sent all documents they asked for last week.

My question, for those that did their safety audit via online, no office visit, how long did it take for you to receive a response back rather by mail or email?

 

Update..........

I located and phoned the auditor listed at the bottom of my email notification, I asked him for a status update and we had a conversation. He was very impressed with the information I presented. He told me that usually he has to go back and forth with a carrier to get the information requested. I told him I use an online software called mydriverfiles which helps with DOT audits.

To say the least, I passed. I’m good to continue working towards making my vision a reality.

 

For my company, they sent a list of what they wanted to see.

Basically, they wanted proof of insurance, proof of annual inspection, my E-logs for the past 3 months, proof of enrollment in the drug and alcohol consortium, equipment and driver/s lists, hiring documents of driver/s, etc.

I use a cloud base system that puts all these documents in one file. So all I did was send them what they asked for.

The list is specific for your company and may differ from carrier to carrier and state to state. But, if your states participates in online DOT audits, they may just send you an email requesting documents. The name of the auditor will be provided as well as his/her phone number. So make sure to check your spam box. I also received a letter in the mail at my office. But, I am only at my office maybe once a month unless I need to head into my office sooner. I try to have everything come to my email because I’m out of the office so much. But there are people at my office that lets me know when I need to make my way back to pickup the important mail.
