    I would never ignore it but since its just a safety audit and not a compliance audit i would think they have no reason to audit me when their goal is to make sure i am operating safely in the future. Definitely going to give them a call tomorrow just through maybe someone went through this situation before. thanks
     
    Scooter Jones Thanks this.

    Curious, (ignore State Audit)...what if, the Bad Carrier closed their doors, (hire drug users as drivers, hire active DWI drivers, drivers whom do not hold a CDL, run illegal logs, haul Haz-Mat Materials and/or Liquor without a license.) should the State Agency just turn away & put their heads in the sand.

    >Commenters, myself, im disgusted that your allowed to comment on issues of Safety. humph!
