Received notice of my first FMCSA audit...

I've had my own authority since January 2016. I've received notice of my first safety audit. Mind you, I'm only a 1 man dog & pony show, yet, take a lot at the thickness of this spiral notebook I put together with all the documentation they want for the audit

Even though I'm very organized and systemic in my filing practice, I scan every record & receipt I handle and categorize the files into electronic folders, it still took me many hours to assimilate and transfer the files onto paper.

I'm not complaining or whining, I just thought I'd share this with guys who are looking to get their own authority or haven't had their first audit yet.

 

Since this is my first audit, here's what they want:
1. Insurance and Economic Documentation (current)
2. Controlled Substances and Alcohol Testing (since inception)
3. Accident Records (since inception)
4. Driver Qualification Records *that includes a LOT of stuff
5. Hours of Service Records Logs, includes supporting documents like fuel receipts, etc (previous 6 mos)
6. Equipment Maintenance Records, including supporting documents like receipts, inspections (since inception)
7. Hazmat Materials Records (does not apply to me)
