I am a new "carrier" with a new DOT number.
My company owns one tractor, two semi trailers, and employs one CDL driver.
I recently received my DOT numbers and I am trying to make sure that I stay compliant.
I have some questions.
1) How soon after getting a DOT number and authority, do companies usually get audited?
2) We do 99% of my work intrastate (IL) and 1% going to Wisconsin, staying under 100 miles away from our corporate base.
Perhaps 8 hours of driving per week.
* Does my driver need to have any logs
* Does he need to fill out Daily Vehicle Inspection Reports?
Thanks!
