Achieving a Higher Safety Rating with Fortress Fleet Solutions
Is your company currently operating with a 'conditional' or 'unsatisfactory' safety rating? Have you recently faced a DOT audit failure? If your answer is 'Yes' to either of these questions, Fortress Fleet Solutions is here to assist.
These designated safety ratings by the FMCSA can have significant consequences, including potential loss or suspension of authority, liability insurance, customers, brokers, and shippers, higher insurance costs, targeted roadside enforcement, and more.
Fortress Fleet Solutions will diligently prepare your company and gather the necessary documentation and evidence to request a rating upgrade from the FMCSA. Our team of transportation safety consultants can also develop and implement programs tailored to prevent your return to a less-than-satisfactory rating.
Drawing from our extensive experience working with carriers similar to your situation, we can save you valuable time and prevent unnecessary delays. Our safety management plans are fully customized to address the specific violations uncovered. Contact Fortress Fleet Solutions today to initiate the process of upgrading your Safety Rating.
How long does it take for a safety rating change to occur?
Fortress Fleet Solutions will initiate the implementation of policies, procedures, and necessary corrective actions, depending on the specific area(s) of focus, to demonstrate to the FMCSA that required actions have been completed and rectified. Effective and open communication between Fortress Fleet Solutions and the carrier is essential throughout this process. In certain cases,
Fortress Fleet Solutions may need to engage with your drivers as well. Once all the necessary supporting documentation is gathered, we can proceed to submit your request for a safety rating change.
The FMCSA typically takes 30-90 days to decide on the request. Fortress Fleet Solutions actively follows up with the FMCSA to ensure timely responses. However, it's worth noting that the process of requesting a Safety Rating Upgrade can become extended and complicated if the paperwork is not filled out correctly. This is where our experienced transportation safety consultants can be of great assistance, helping you save valuable time. The Department of Transportation requires adherence to very specific procedures for upgrade requests, and we are committed to streamlining and simplifying the process to alleviate the challenges faced by our valued clients.
