Webinar "All About DOT Audits"
Title: All About DOT Audits
Date: December 9, 2020
Time: 1:00 PM Central Standard Time
Duration: 1 hour
Summary
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) data for Fiscal Year 2020 show that the number of compliance audits nationwide exceeded 12,000, and the number of off-site (remote) audits increased by almost 500%, from 1,013 in 2019 to 5,000 in 2020. And, much of this increase was planned by FMCSA even before the Covid-19 pandemic hit.
With the cost-efficiency of off-site audits, the ability of technology to facilitate them, and the pandemic-driven change in the way work is done, we can expect the number of FMCSA off-site audits to continue to climb.
Join TTA and Scopelitis Transportation Consulting (STC) for this new training webinar that will explain, in detail, how FMCSA and its State enforcement partners conduct on-site and off-site compliance audits. This new webinar was developed by STC from FMCSA safety auditor/investigator training manual, and it includes:
• What are the key audit triggers
• How the audit process works, and how it differs between on-site and off-site audits
• The CSA BASICS and compliance areas most likely to be off-site audited
• Details on the number and type of records investigated during audits
• How the drivers and the records are selected, and
• And much more!
Don’t miss this new and super informative TTA training webinar.
