whoopNride, Badmon and bzinger Thank this. -
You can shut down any time. Will it do you any good? You still have to retain records for various things/times.Doealex Thanks this.

Are you afraid of DOT finding anything. They will give you ample time to clean all your records before they come in. So get busy.
Doealex Thanks this. -
Yea but will that stop the audit??
I got some of BS log book violations.. and afyer seeing what i made last year and then the fines for audit its not worth it.. so was thinking to close shop.. im getting audit cause the drivers i had keep getting bad inspections then i finally got one for not having printer that was oos.. my logbooks arent bad but there are violations there.. you can have super clean everythung and dot will find something.. they make their own rules it seems like.. -
Are these company trucks or owner op?
-
Didn’t know you have to have a printer in truck...
CrappieJunkie and Badmon Thank this. -
Listen, DOT is not in the business of shutting companies down, if you get busy and clean your records the best you can, it is likely that they will give you ample time to get "straight".
CrappieJunkie Thanks this. -
Owner ops..
I got rid of them all now cause literally so many bad insoections and it was for stupid crap like reflective tape or speeding that one is stupid on their part.. mine was that oos cause i didnt have printer.. so now they are poking for audit i feel my elds are ok but they will still manage to find things. So im thinking to close shop which i was thinking of doing before this audit cause i leterally can make this money working home.. big huge gross then break it down its ####.. so if i close up will they stop the audit? Or it continues?? If it continues then no sence to close it.. -
