Corrective action plan checklist
- Get FMCSA's written notice and list every violation it names.
- For each violation: what went wrong, what was fixed, and the proof (documents, enrollment certificates, inspection reports).
- Write what changes so it doesn't happen again (who checks what, how often).
- DOT expert reviews the whole plan before it goes out.
- Submit before the deadline: 60 days for most carriers, 45 for passenger or placarded hazmat carriers. Log the submission date.
- Track FMCSA's answer; update the client's audit field.
