I think everyone would agree that you are truly informative and give out nuggets that are keys to any business in trucking to be succefull. All the information you provide is much appreciated!💯💯💯. Thank you!!

Hey David, thanks for the fantastic video. I did want to follow up on your response re the applicability to a business with vehicles < 26,000 GVWR. My read of the statute ( §382.103) a company must implement a DOT drug and alcohol program for all drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that requires the driver to possess a commercial driver’s license (CDL). While vehicles over 10,000 lbs are classified as CMVs, certain vehicles < 26,000 can be operated without a CDL and should be exempt.

They did not come to my office but I did have to go to them. They were about an hour away. They sent an email that I contained a checklist of all the things you mentioned. Those are all the things I had to take with me. The email has the auditor’s phone number. I called and asked for clarification on some of the items. I had to upload the driver logs two day prior to going to the audit. This particular audit does not charge fines. They were informative. My email came from the department of public safety. Your information is spot on.

Mine is in the State of Texas. The paperwork Audit I have to walk in on appointment. I have all in a binder and neat. I am non CDL. So no drug test requirement, and pre 2000 vehicle, so I am one of the few with paper logs. Texas said bring 6 months of logs. I have from the Beginning of my authority. I have maintenance records and receipts of many things I bought to back it up. They require a lot. As you said organized is the way

I made an appointment to talk with David because I needed to get ready for an Audit and I am glad that I did, he was very helpful in directing me in the right direction. Very informative on the important paperwork I needed that he mentioned in this video and I appreciate the fact that he explained the list of items like he did in this video. Thank You David.

Hello David I am starting a trucking company with my family since they have been driver operators leasing authority for so many years. Thanks to people like you this process is really smooth - I kept wondering if I will meet someone willing to share this information but always though of people as selfish - you make a huge difference ! Cant thank you enough ! Every video I play gives me an answer to a question or concern!

David, I'm so grateful for all the information you're sharing. I was in the school system for the last 13 years but now I'm trying to help a very ill family member maintain his trucking company. I have little to NO knowledge or experience in trucking but I'm willing to learn as much as I can in a short period. Your videos have helped me to better understand the different systems, compliances, tax laws, etc. of the trucking industry. Keep teaching King!!!! There are people out here that need and appreciate your wisdom and knowledge.

Thanks so much! I’m definitely going to enroll in the drug program. I still haven’t started yet just got my ELD today so. Will have people go for drug part now! I want to be right before going out on the road!

I just want to say how appreciative I am for your videos. I currently work for Amazon. I was a CDL driver directly working for Amazon and was recently promoted to manager. We are paid SHIT compared to other companies. UPS, 3PC, and even the 3P shuttle drivers, we pay to move trailers from our offsite make more than us. Even me as the manager, I make less the the 3P shuttle driver that move trailers to and from our off site. I am learning a lot from my current role and your videos are helping me prepare for my (hopeful) transfer to my own company. Thank you, you are a good man. Thank you for giving me your knowledge. I live in your area and I have much respect for you making it on your own.

You thorough Bro. I’m starting my company soon. Your videos are a blessing!

Thanks man! I'm learning a lot from you. You sound like a nice person. Wish you were my friend.

Hey how you doing David great information in your videos I really appreciate all of the gems you're dropping for anyone who's trying to get started in the trucking industry I had a question and I was trying to find out what compliance company do you use and would you recommend them

Great content....is this for box truck also

Having my authority and running a cargo Van, how would that audit go? How would they go about the audit If you have your authority and running a cargo Van? Because having a cargo Van, Some of those requirements does not apply to the cargo van.

New follower. Great info.

Great job sharing info. Every little bit helps. I'm curious as to what compliance program your in? May be a good topic for a future video.. Thanks

Hi! I try to figure out about insurance. Should to call to my insurance and to ask them about form MCS 90 or where l can take it?

Hi, thank you so much for this vital information. I do have a question I've been trying to find forms for sale tax exempt. Can you please direct me to the correct website and what to do?

thank you sir!

David what company did you use for compliance.?

Who do you use for compliance

Thanks for posting this informative video. Does this all apply for a Cargo Van?

There asking for a accident registry what do I need to send or do

Email only? What about regular mail?

For the ELD log, what if you have ELD but don't really use it because you do Amazon postal loads with 26ft box truck only? Can a paper log book be sufficient enough to to satisfy DOT audit?

Thanks Dave, I passed!

Does Estimated miles driven & Gross Revenue to date.. make a difference in the safety audit??

What if you are renting the truck ?

Morning David- thanks for the video and everything you do very helpful one quick question if someone leases on to a company or to a carrier and you are on your own truck will you still get audited by the government

What compliance company do you use

So for the proof of insurance can I just sent the the certificate of insurance or we have to have the form mcs-90 we don’t transport any hazards material we only deal with Amazon relay.

Can you help me start my own authority ?

Thanks for the info! Is there a good app or program to organize receipts?

Above & beyond all of the DQL stuff, what other records should I be habitually hording?

As far as submitting drivers logs, what if you haven’t been driving for the past few months bc truck has been in the shop? And where can I can pull my driving record?

David, Where is the link?

Have a question about apportioned plates. I have trailers and I hired two drivers. Trying to figure out how to register my plates.

great video , i have a question : if i am owner operator do i need provide mvr for safety audit

Being an owner operator, how exactly does the DQ File work? I hope I don't need to fill out an application for my own business... I still need previous work history and all that? What if I've been living just off of VA disability and what my wife makes for the last few years? Now I've got my CDL and want to own my own business....

What do they look for once they come to the business ?

Please disregard my last post, didn’t realize the answer to my question was answered in the video, thanks

It was 8 months be for I got my audit

Could you recommend a safety compliance company? Thanks

What all i need to have for owner operator no employee’s

After you receive a safety audit email. How soon you provide those paperwork’s? Do you have enough time? How long?
