Audit Readiness Checker

A client-side quiz covering the same categories a DOT auditor actually checks — producing a category-by-category readiness score plus an overall score, shown instantly on-page. Free, no email gate.

Answer honestly — each weak-scoring category links to its matching guide article, turning this into a personalized action plan built on top of the static DOT Audit Checklist, not a duplicate of it. Nothing is sent anywhere; scoring happens entirely in your browser.

What This Checks

A DOT audit is a document review. Auditors check Driver Qualification Files, Hours of Service Records, Maintenance Documentation, your Drug and Alcohol Program, and Insurance and Accident Records. If your files are complete and accurate, you pass. This tool mirrors exactly those categories.
