Safety Management Plans for Safety Fitness Determination Upgrade

A DOT audit can result in a Safety Fitness Rating of Conditional or Unsatisfactory. This means that you will be fined, your insurance rates will likely increase, and can affect your ability to get brokered loads. The process to get an upgrade takes time and there are specific requirements that must be followed. We can help. We are a national company and have working relationships with state DOT’s and FMCSA Regional Service Centers. We will work with you to prove that corrective actions have been taken by your company and request your upgrade.
