A Safety Audit is a review of a motor carrier’s records designed to verify that a carrier has basic safety management controls in place to ensure compliance with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Hazardous Materials Regulations, and related record-keeping requirements. A motor carrier must undergo a Safety Audit within the first 12 months of their operations to complete the New Entrant Program.
