For those of you that passed your new entrant audit and safety audits in general, how do you choose to prove that your staying up to date with dot regs as mentioned in 390.3?
JJ Keller just tried to sell me a $500 program to prove my compliance, (compliance updates for 3 years) and said the the .gov site has a disclaimer stating that the .gov website cannot be used as a source for updating(?) ... OOIDA told me just have my regulation books current and show the inspector the link the .gov site.
Any insight on this would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

I’m sure the product is good, just seems like there’s a way to prove your compliance without. I’m not trying to be cheap but dang that’s half a thousand, and if I can do it myself then I’m curious to know how. -
Keller will sell you all kinds of crap if you let them.
Their sales dept will call me about once a month, to tell me I’m fixing to go to prison, if I don’t buy whatever hogwash they are selling.
We buy inspection forms, log books, and that’s it from them.brian991219, jammer910Z, singlescrewshaker and 1 other person Thank this. -
-How many trucks are you running?
-Do you have any employees other than yourself?
I'm a single owner operator with no other employees. If it's just you, I'm pretty sure OOIDA isn't leading you wrong. I've only had the new entry safety audit in 2013 but I'm almost positive having an up to date reg book on hand is all you'll need as a one man show..DSK333, ibcalm19, TallJoe and 1 other person Thank this. -
HopeOverMope Thanks this.

I would also like to know how to stay compliant with the regulation. I’m sure there’s a short yearly training class the DOT puts on to get you up to date. -
My new entry audit was performed and the nearest weigh station to my business address, he mainly checked everything online and a couple other basic stuff to keep, then just talked about the other regs required then signed me off as gtg.
DSK333 and HopeOverMope Thank this. -
Yet one more bureaucratic thing to remember...?
I did not even know I had to prove anything like that. I don't carry any regulation books with me. In case of an audit, I guess, I'll have to buy one...on the other hand I can always show them the smart phone and link to the FMCSA site.DSK333 Thanks this. -
My safety audit was basically sending information in to the auditor. He basically said I didn't have to have a sit down interview. He didn't ask about updated regulations but I guess things have changed. I would just purchased those books & call it.
