Audit letter arrived? · 12 months to ready

Your new-entrant audit is coming. Be ready before the letter shows up.

§01 · The workspace

Compliance work, in the format an auditor wants.

The FMCSA grades on paperwork. Roadworthy HQ does the recordkeeping every CFR part actually requires, with each feature traced to a citation.

49 CFR §391.51

Driver qualification files, complete

Every §391.51(b) item — application, MVR, road test, medical certificate, annual review — tracked with the right retention window.

  • 13-item DQF checklist with plain-English explainers
  • Medical certificate expiry alerts up to 60 days out
  • Annual review of driving record reminded automatically
49 CFR §382

Drug & alcohol program, tracked

Random pool math at the 2026 rates, pre-employment, post-accident, and return-to-duty events logged. Queries against the FMCSA Clearinghouse (the national driver drug & alcohol violations database) with the consent forms generated.

  • Random selections distributed across quarters at 50% / 10%
  • Pre-employment + annual Clearinghouse query log, 3-year retention
  • Post-accident decision tree mapped to §382.303
49 CFR §396

DVIR and maintenance records

Driver vehicle inspection reports, annual inspections, and the systematic maintenance program §396.3 actually requires — kept for the period the regulation specifies.

  • DVIR retention enforced for 3 months
  • Annual inspection certificate tracked for 14 months
  • Periodic maintenance schedule per vehicle, per mileage band
49 CFR §385 Subpart D

Audit-ready, every day

An append-only event log, retention enforced in the database, and a one-click binder ready to upload to FMCSA's NEWS portal when the audit notice arrives.

  • 12-month new-entrant audit timeline mapped to your USDOT date
  • One-click binder with NEWS-ready file naming
  • Sixteen auto-fail violations from §385.321(b) flagged before they ship
49 CFR §390.31

Audit binder, exportable

Records have to be made available when FMCSA asks — that's what §390.31 actually requires. One-click export packaged the way an auditor expects, named for the NEWS portal, with tombstones preserved separately.

  • ZIP export with NEWS-ready file naming and a manifest
  • Current-status documents only; corrections kept as reversing events
  • 48-hour records-availability standard met without a scramble

§02 · How we're different

Built for fleets too small for J.J. Keller, too serious for a binder.

J.J. Keller Encompass and Foley Dash are good products — for fleets ten times your size, with sales cycles and contracts to match. Roadworthy HQ sits in the middle on purpose: self-serve, one flat price, built for 1–10 trucks.

§05 · Questions before you start

The honest answers.

What happens at the end of the 14-day trial?
Nothing automatic. We don't take a card to start the trial, so we can't charge you on day 15. You'll see a banner in the dashboard a few days out; if you don't add a payment method, the workspace becomes read-only and your data stays available for 30 days.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Cancel from the customer portal in two clicks — no email, no retention call. Your subscription stays active through the end of the current billing period, then drops to read-only for 30 days so you can export anything you need.
Is there a setup fee or contract?
No. No setup fee, no implementation fee, no minimum term, no contract. The price you see is the price you pay; Stripe Tax adds applicable state sales tax as a separate line on the invoice.
Is Roadworthy HQ FMCSA-certified or approved?
No compliance software is. The FMCSA does not certify, approve, or endorse recordkeeping vendors — there is no such program. What's true is that Roadworthy HQ tracks the documents and timelines specified in 49 CFR Parts 382, 385, 390, 391, 395, and 396, with retention windows enforced by the database. The auditor cares about your records, not your vendor.
Is this legal advice?
No. Roadworthy HQ is software that helps you keep the records the FMCSA expects in the format an auditor wants. The CFR citations and explanations are general guidance, not legal advice. For your specific situation, consult counsel or a qualified compliance professional.
