Mine is in the State of Texas. The paperwork Audit I have to walk in on appointment. I have all in a binder and neat. I am non CDL. So no drug test requirement, and pre 2000 vehicle, so I am one of the few with paper logs. Texas said bring 6 months of logs. I have from the Beginning of my authority. I have maintenance records and receipts of many things I bought to back it up. They require a lot. As you said organized is the way

Hey David, thanks for the fantastic video. I did want to follow up on your response re the applicability to a business with vehicles < 26,000 GVWR. My read of the statute ( §382.103) a company must implement a DOT drug and alcohol program for all drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that requires the driver to possess a commercial driver’s license (CDL). While vehicles over 10,000 lbs are classified as CMVs, certain vehicles < 26,000 can be operated without a CDL and should be exempt.
