The Audit Procedure
ETS begins with an extensive records retrieval process for the driver quals, maintenance records, ELD records, and vehicle records, followed by analysis for gaps using FMCSA checklists. At the site, certified inspectors perform the MPI truck inspection for brakes, tires, and lights, while MI examines the repair records.
