DOT Self Audit ReMA Checklist

To assist members with FMCSA regulatory compliance issues, ReMA Safety has developed a DOT Self-Audit Checklist. Being in compliance with this self-audit checklist does not mean that a motor carrier or an individual driver is exempt from monetary fines and penalties. The purpose of the self-audit is to identify opportunities where management can improve a motor carrier’s overall safety performance and safety management controls. As a best practice we recommend that you perform the audit in portions, over a two to three day period and that you conduct the self-audit annually.
