1) Review Your CVOR Abstract
Pull your CVOR abstract and look at events vs thresholds. Red flags include collisions, hours‑of‑service violations, out‑of‑service defects, and missing training records. We run a CVOR Health Check as part of our CVOR consulting services.
2) Organize Driver & Maintenance Files
- Driver qualifications, training and ride‑alongs
- Preventive maintenance schedules and defect repairs
- Vehicle inspections (daily, periodic) and proof of repairs
3) Hours‑of‑Service & ELD Logs
Auditors look for falsification patterns, missing supporting documents, and systemic fatigue risks. Implement a monitoring routine and corrective actions.
4) Safety Management Program (SMP)
Document the policies you actually use: onboarding, training, monitoring, investigations, and discipline. A living SMP protects your CVOR rating and withstands audits.
5) Run a Mock Audit
We perform a full mock audit, fix gaps, and coach your team before MTO arrives. Most carriers become audit‑ready in 1–3 weeks depending on scope.
