    I'm currently trying to complete my safety audit......I have an awkard situation.

    We started as a transportation company, then a few months down the line we no longer had any trucks moving...either sold or inoperable. We currently still own the truck that's down for repairs and has been for a while now. We also do owner op dispatching, the owner op runs under my MC and insurance however they rent their truck.
    My question is how do I complete the vehicle inspection portion of the audit because I do not own the vehicle, nor do i have any employees.

    The vehicle inspection portion of the audit?

    Are you talking about the new entrant audit? If yes, in my case at least, no vehicle inspection was done. Just a paperwork exercise. If this is what you're talking about we can elaborate more. If something else then what kind of audit do you speak of?
     
    PE_T and Boundtransport Thank this.

    Yes it's the newentrant audit. They are asking for a copy of 1 annual inspection by paper work. All don't by sending uploading documents.

    We had a mack truck on blocks for brakes when they showed up and they went over it and gave a list of rubbed lines, You will have to tell anyone running under your num. to have the insp. report on truck an trailers into your office by the 10th of the mo. or face a fine of some $, put a page on lease and make them sign it, So then you can show dot when they ask you are getting all paper work in to off. on time from that date?

    This is not a physical audit it’s a new entrant audit via document submission.

    Any truck you have on the road you need a file on it. File needs to contain ownership, cab card, copy of current annual inspection, insurance certificate, there's a list somewhere.

    Anyway. The annual inspection is the same paper that's to be carried in the vehicle and presented during roadside inspection. Just get a copy of that. Should be fine. (As far as the scope of this thread, at least).
     
    PE_T and Rideandrepair Thank this.

    We don’t own the truck that is not the road. The truck on the road currently is rented by owner ops. They run under our MC.

    It doesn't matter who owns it. The authority holder is responsible for having these documents for any truck on the road with their numbers on it.
