Roadworthy HQ

By Elite Tech Global, LLC

Overview

A new-entrant audit readiness check from Roadworthy HQ for US motor carriers running one to ten trucks. Your assistant asks the questions an auditor's record requests map to, then tells you what to close first: the items on the 49 CFR §385.321(b) automatic-failure table, each with its cite and a concrete next step. Two supporting calculators give your new-entrant safety audit window and 18-month monitoring period from your USDOT activation month, and the minimum random drug and alcohol tests for your driver pool at FMCSA's 2026 rates. Every answer cites the regulation behind it. Read-only, with no account and nothing stored. Not legal advice.

list_audit_readiness_questions

ChatGPT

Lists the 13 questions behind Roadworthy HQ's new-entrant audit readiness check: drug and alcohol program, driver qualification, hours of service, vehicle inspection and maintenance, insurance, and the accident register. Each carries its 49 CFR cite, what the auditor asks to see, and whether it appears on the §385.321(b) automatic-failure table. Ask the carrier these, then call score_audit_readiness. Not legal advice.

new_entrant_audit_timeline

ChatGPT

For a US interstate motor carrier of property with a new USDOT number: given the month its USDOT registration went active, returns when the FMCSA new-entrant safety audit window closes (within 12 months after operations begin, 49 U.S.C. §31144(g)(1)(A)), when the 18-month new-entrant monitoring period ends (49 CFR §385.307), months left in each, and the carrier's phase today. Month granularity; the activation month stands in for the start of operations, which keeps the result conservative. Does not cover passenger carriers (120-day audit clock). Not legal advice.

random_testing_minimums

ChatGPT

For a US motor carrier's FMCSA (CDL driver) random testing pool: given the average number of driver positions for the year, returns the minimum number of random drug tests (50%) and random alcohol tests (10%) under 49 CFR §382.305(b) at the 2026 FMCSA rates, rounded up. For drivers in a consortium (C/TPA) pool the rate applies to the consortium's larger pool (§382.305(j)(2)); the result is what the carrier's own pool would owe. Not legal advice.

score_audit_readiness

ChatGPT

Scores a US motor carrier's answers to the questions from list_audit_readiness_questions and returns a readiness band, the gaps to close first (items on the 49 CFR §385.321(b) automatic-failure table), the other gaps, and a concrete next step for each. Unanswered questions count as "no". A flagged item is a priority to close, not a predicted audit outcome. Not legal advice.
