Summit Trucking Co. recovers its safety score after a failed DOT audit

Challenge

Summit failed a DOT compliance review with findings tied to inconsistent ELD logs and missing hours-of-service documentation, putting its operating authority at real risk.

Solution

Fleet's compliance team built a corrective action plan, took over daily ELD log monitoring to catch violations before they became patterns, and prepared documentation ahead of a scheduled follow-up review.

Results

Summit's CSA safety score improved substantially over the following six months. Zero out-of-service violations have been recorded since the corrective action plan began, and Summit passed its follow-up audit cleanly.
