DOT Compliance Help
Whether you're getting ahead of it or already in it — we can help.
342 Enterprises works with carriers at every stage: proactively closing compliance gaps, responding to FMCSA warning letters, and preparing for compliance reviews. Founded by a retired law enforcement officer who conducted these audits firsthand.
Getting ahead of it
You're operating and want to know where you stand before the FMCSA shows up. We conduct a full mock audit and give you a clear picture of your compliance posture.
Received a warning letter
A warning letter means the FMCSA has flagged your operation. Time matters. We review your records immediately and help you respond with documentation that demonstrates corrective action.
Facing a compliance review
A compliance review is a formal investigation. We conduct an emergency audit, organize your documentation, and prepare you to present the strongest possible case to the investigator.
Most compliance problems are fixable — if you catch them first
Some carriers come to us before anything goes wrong — they want to know where they stand before the FMCSA does. Others come after receiving a warning letter or a notice of a compliance review. Wherever you are in that spectrum, the approach is the same: find the gaps, fix the documentation, and get your operation into shape.
342 Enterprises was founded by a retired law enforcement officer who spent years conducting roadside inspections and compliance reviews. We know exactly what investigators look for — and we'll walk through your entire operation to find and fix issues before they become federal problems.
What we cover
Mock DOT Compliance Audit
We conduct a full internal audit of your operation using the same criteria FMCSA investigators use during a compliance review — so you know exactly where you stand before they show up.
Driver Qualification File Review
Missing or expired DQ file documents are among the most common compliance violations. We audit every driver file against 49 CFR Part 391 requirements and identify what needs to be corrected.
Hours of Service Review
HOS violations are a top CSA category. We review your drivers' logs, ELD data, and supporting documents to identify patterns and correct recordkeeping issues before they compound.
ELD Compliance Check
We verify your ELD is registered on the FMCSA technical registry, properly configured, and that your drivers understand how to use it correctly — including malfunction procedures.
Vehicle Maintenance Records
Federal regulations require systematic inspection, repair, and maintenance records for every vehicle. We review your DVIR process, PM schedules, and repair documentation for compliance.
Accident Register Review
Your accident register must be maintained for three years and meet specific content requirements. We review your register and help you establish a proper post-accident documentation process.
Hazmat Compliance
If your operation involves hazardous materials, the compliance requirements go well beyond standard FMCSA rules. We review your hazmat program, placarding, shipping papers, and driver training.
SMS / CSA Score Improvement
Your BASIC scores in the Safety Measurement System affect your visibility to shippers, brokers, and investigators. We analyze your violation history and build a plan to reduce your scores.
FMCSA DataQ Challenge Assistance
Not every violation on your record is accurate. We help you identify challengeable inspection data and walk you through the DataQ process to get incorrect violations removed.
Compliance Review Preparation
If you've received a warning letter or been notified of an upcoming compliance review, time matters. We conduct an emergency audit and help you organize documentation to present the strongest possible case.
Don't wait for a warning letter
- FMCSA can conduct a compliance review at any time — no advance notice required
- An Unsatisfactory safety rating can result in an out-of-service order within 45 days
- SMS scores are public — brokers and shippers check them before awarding loads
- Most compliance issues are correctable — but only if you find them first
