SafeRoad CDL

Automate your FMCSA compliance with us

“We truly believe that together we can change and optimize the way companies currently handle their FMCSA DQ Files and become their trusted partner to have peace of mind regarding compliance.”

Delivering In Depth Audits and Onboarding

We prepare companies to be audit ready for any FMCSA inspection by their current DQF’s (Driver Qualification Files) of all CDL Drivers that are members of their fleet and fix any compliance issues that result from the audit.

FMCSA Audits

As of July 2025, FMCSA has performed around 24,924 on site audits to small, medium and large companies. This resulted in several temporary shutdowns for some of those companies for non-compliant issues with their DQ Files. With a minimum of 3 weeks of business closure which cost thousands of dollars in loss of revenue.
