Mock Audit Self-Assessment

Mock audits identify compliance gaps before FMCSA visits. Recommended annually + before any expected official audit.

Mock audit scope

Same areas as Compliance Review
Driver qualification files
Hours of Service records
Vehicle maintenance records
D&A testing records
Operating authority + insurance
Accident register

Step-by-step process

Identify scope: which carrier areas to audit
Pull sample: representative selection of drivers, vehicles, trips
Review against regulation: § by § comparison
Document findings: what's compliant, what's not
Prioritize gaps: critical vs minor
Remediate: address each gap
Re-audit: confirm remediation
Report: written summary for carrier management

Common findings (industry-wide)

DQ files: missing 1-3 documents per driver
HOS: occasional 14-hour violations
Vehicle: maintenance schedule not always followed
D&A: random rate slightly below target
Accident register: some events not added
Insurance: lapsed (not current)

Tools needed

Document checklist (per regulation)
Sample selection method (random)
Reporting template
Remediation tracker

Internal vs external mock audit

Internal: cheaper, faster, less independent
External (consultant): more expensive, more objective
Hybrid: internal + occasional external for second opinion

Compass mock audit

Best practice

Run mock audit:

Annually (at minimum)
Before expected FMCSA visit
After major operational change (new authority, new state, new carrier acquired)
After significant CSA score change

CFR citations
