DQF Audit Self-Assessment Workflow

A self-audit catches DQF issues before FMCSA does. Run quarterly or before any expected compliance review.

Step 1: Driver list verification

  • Pull list of all drivers active in past 12 months (including terminated)
  • Cross-reference against your DQF library (should have a file for each)
  • Flag missing DQF files immediately

Step 2: Per-driver completeness check

For each driver, verify these 12 documents are present:

  • 1. Employment application (§ 391.21) — date hired, complete signature
  • 2. Prior employer inquiries (§ 391.23) — sent + responded OR documented attempts
  • 3. MVR — current (within last 12 months) + 3-year history
  • 4. Annual review of driving record (§ 391.25) — within 12 months of hire/last review
  • 5. Annual driver's certificate of violations (§ 391.27) — within 12 months
  • 6. Medical examiner's certificate — current (not expired)
  • 7. Medical examiner verification — National Registry number on file
  • 8. Road test certificate OR equivalent — at time of hire
  • 9. Safety performance history — completed at hire
  • 10. Medical variance — if applicable
  • 11. CDL copy — current
  • 12. ELDT certificate — for drivers with first CDL after 2/7/2022

Step 3: Document quality check

  • Signatures and dates legible
  • All sections completed (no blanks)
  • Documents are signed by authorized parties (medical examiner from National Registry)
  • Certificates not expired
  • Old certificates archived (3-year retention for replaced documents)

Step 4: Cross-reference with HR system

  • Hire dates match between DQF and HR
  • Termination dates flagged for 3-year retention countdown
  • No "ghost drivers" in DQF without HR record (or vice versa)

Step 5: Generate audit report

  • Total drivers in DQF library
  • Total drivers with complete files (target: 100%)
  • Drivers with at least 1 missing document (action items)
  • Drivers with expired documents (urgency)
  • Average DQF "completeness score"

How Compass automates this

Compass DQ Files module runs this audit continuously. Each driver has a "compliance score" based on document presence + currency. Daily digest surfaces the top 5 driver files needing attention.

CFR citations

  • 49 CFR § 391.51
  • 49 CFR § 391.53
  • 49 CFR Part 385 Subpart B

How Compass surfaces this

This skill is searchable in Compass Ask and runs against the carrier's actual fleet data when invoked from the relevant tracker. Read-only; no actions taken without explicit user approval.
