Need some advice

Are you talking about the safety audit you recieve shortly after getting your own authority?

 

If you don't have it then you don't have it. So I think your question is; How can I fool the system into thinking I have it? That has been a topic on this board before and remember this is a public forum that the DOT also reads.

 

as long as you can get insurance it doesn't matter to them how long it's been as long as you have your application and all on file.

 

Well then your worries are over. The audit will be within 180 days of recieving your authority so you will have that experience and those records for them to view. The audit is a inspection safety audit. They will review your records and insure that you have all the documents required in proper order. They are only there to let you know what you are doing right and what you need to correct. There are no fines or other penalties involved in this. One of the most missed items is an application to your company from YOU! LOL Be sure to have a pre-employment drug screen in place also.. Best of luck!

 

No prob, glad you got the info you needed, good luck!
