Audit Preparation Recordkeeping

Audits and recordkeeping are the mundane yet crucial tasks of maintaining both regulatory compliance and operational efficiencies, organizing the massive amounts of data collected in the day-to-day operation of a trucking company. These tasks focus on the details. They are about systematically organizing and keeping detailed records about driver hours, vehicle maintenance, and all aspects of federal regulation.

The surest way to prepare for an audit is to maintain all records as accurate, complete, and up-to-date as possible – including electronic logs, vehicle inspection reports, maintenance records, and other critical information. Good recordkeeping habits allow fleeting operations to manage their data more effectively, minimize their risk of compliance violations, and simplify the audit process, too.

Auditors from regulatory bodies review these files during an audit to make sure the fleet operations are conforming to industry standards and legal requirements. Good records will lead to a smoother audit process, minimize fines, and reduce overall time spent on solving discrepancies.
