Below are the documents and programs you must have in place prior to your new entrant safety audit, which usually takes place within the first six months of obtaining your USDOT Number. Although this audit is designed to be educational, it is a serious process. Keep in mind that a failure here could put your business on hold…in some cases, permanently.

Permits & Registrations

It’s not uncommon for new entrants to have trouble finding coverage, and if they do, it’s often very expensive. At Foley, we work with a wide network of reputable insurance providers to help you find the coverage you need – at a price you can afford.

DOT Drug & Alcohol Testing Program

If you’re an interstate motor carrier who operates a vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 26,001+ pounds, you must participate in a compliant drug and alcohol program that includes pre-employment and random drug testing. This regulation applies to motor carriers of all sizes – even owner operators.

For one, flat annual fee, we’ll manage your entire program and ensure you have everything you need to stay compliant – from a customized drug and alcohol policy to a scientifically random testing program.
