The new-entrant safety audit, state by state

The FMCSA new-entrant safety audit is a federal program — the six factors, the 18-month monitoring period, and the automatic-failure list are identical in every state. What differs is intrastate registration, handled by each state. These guides pair the federal audit with state-specific registration notes.
