    I have no idea at all. I'm brand new to being an interstate carrier. I have been classified as intrastate for the last three years and have had nothing to do with this untill I was stopped by a New Hampshire statie. Now I have to go through this audit and I would rather not go into it blind.

    Basically looking at the record keeping system for the company. There is a large manual available at FMCSA's website that includes all the forms and info needed on the main stuff. There is a separate one that covers the drug and alcohol policies.

    I guess it's time I get busy on that thread I plan on starting that will have links to all the needed stuff. The start of it will be coming in the next couple of days.
