Driver Qulification File

So I am getting all my stuff ready while I am waiting for my federal USDOT and MC to become active. There is a few remaining thing I have to do yet (all stated below).
I was reading around and even if you are a O/O with no employes you still need a Driver Qualification File.
If that is right how do I go about that? Do I just type up a simple document will my CDL information, endorsements, work history, training, ext?
Note that I am operating in Iowa currently (for 99% of my bis any ways) as I do not need this to do so, just Iowa authority .

The next couple are came strait from my OP-1 application. Not if some of this applies if it just me.
1. Has in place place a system and an individual responsible for ensuring overall compliance with FMCSA regs.
3. Has in place driver safety/training/orientation program.
5. Is familiar with dot regs governing driver qualification and has in place a system for over seeing driver qualifications reqs.
6. Has in place policies and procedures consistent with DOT regs governing driving and operational safety of motor vehicles, including driver hours of service and vehicle inspections, repair, and maintenance.

So what did you guys do for this? Would anyone be able to provide me copy or example of how they did it?

Now nothing relay stands out much. It is just me, I operate with in 100 at all time (unless I pick something else up) 99% of my work is in Iowa the other is 1% is MN (reason why I had to get federal authority), I am the mechanic (yes certified), no hazardous materials (I just haul building material on my boom truck with 24 ft flat bed).

 

Seems like a bunch of ridicules read tape. You can lie on some of this stuff. Pre-employment I might get away with that because of recent drug test activity. Even then you could do something and wait before you test your self. 10 year work history well have not even been out of school for 10 year. Drive test absolute pointless on your self even then you have to get on for your CDL anyways.

 

Pre-employment testing is not required if, under the regulations, a driver applicant has participated in a drug testing program within the previous 30 days and was either tested for drugs within the past 6 months or participated in a random drug testing program for the previous 12 months.

Well to late for it anyway.

 

The school history is hard to do. Since you don't need it to get a CDL anyways if should not be required.
I was in the army took a test drove for them while I was in there. All that so I can move my construction equipment and fuel tankers for the unit. Iowa DOT seemed fine with the experience said no driving test just take written and you get it. I had a letter written from the commander but I don't know if I would be able to find it. Getting another one is a no go since every one has changes post and I am no longer in.

 

As for what I am doing on winters. I thought of trying to get shot haul loads. The truck can only go 55-60 mph crane cant come off and no air suspension. Not only that holes in the floor board I need to fix need new door and seal because they are bent and let air in. The old owner just let everything go. Tip top shape lol its a 94 in pretty bad shape but I did pay 18-20k less then what they was going for in great shape.
There is still a laundry list of stuff I need to work. One thing at a time. Next up is rear brakes in a few weeks once I get the money.

Usually they still got loads during the winter but the piled them for 1 day a weeks. That one load might be 1-3k payout and I drove less then 100 mi. So free time like they had, not sure yet.

Yea I some of stuff does not apply to me currently.
I stay off the interstate dint really need to go on it. Mostly to avoid inspections.
I operate within 100 mi 99% of the time.
I am in Iowa 99% of the time so I did not need IRP or IFTA stuff. I just needed Iowa intrastate authority an FMCSA stuff is not needed
However, less then 1% of my load go to MN less then 30 mi in. So I am able to just get a 72 hour permit to operator interstate to MN. For that same reason is why I had to get the FMCSA involved.

As for not driving a 35ish ft boom truck. I did drive and operate a mobile wheeled crane that was longer and heavier than that while I was in the Army.
