/ Stay Ready. Stay Compliant. Stay on the Road.
A trucking audit is a formal review conducted by regulatory agencies—like the FMCSA, DOT, or state IFTA departments—to ensure your business is operating in compliance with transportation laws and safety regulations. Audits can be triggered by random selection, missing filings, safety violations, or inconsistencies in reporting.
Failing an audit can result in penalties, revoked authority, or suspended operations—which is why being prepared is critical.
Whether it’s your New Entrant Safety Audit, an IFTA audit, or a Compliance Review, having a partner like Truckers Desk ensures:
