I think everyone would agree that you are truly informative and give out nuggets that are keys to any business in trucking to be succefull. All the information you provide is much appreciated!💯💯💯. Thank you!!
Hey how you doing David great information in your videos I really appreciate all of the gems you're dropping for anyone who's trying to get started in the trucking industry I had a question and I was trying to find out what compliance company do you use and would you recommend them
I had a guy call me saying he was a DOT inspector giving me a heads up on audit. Told me to send pics of bin # on drivers door along with license plate. Is this fake?
I have my authority for the last 6 months but it has been difficult to find a driver until now so I don't have driver logs for the last 30 days and my safety audit is due in about a week. Have you ever provided a consultation in a situation such as mine?
This video description was updated thru a bulk update. The checklist will be re-added once I bulk update the description again. By the way, there are more than purchase options. There’s a section marked “Free Downloads”. Thanks
so our audit is due in two days, and they are asking for 30 consecutive days of driving records and supporting documents such as tolls, fuel receipt, etc.. do I need to upload documents for 30 days or just a couple? also, can I just upload one type of document like just fuel?
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.
Thanks so much! I’m definitely going to enroll in the drug program. I still haven’t started yet just got my ELD today so. Will have people go for drug part now! I want to be right before going out on the road!
I just signed up with Foley. They have a nice easy to use website for uploading ur docs. A bit pricey but I don't have to worry about doc expiring because they will let me know before hand. Good luck!
Hello David I am starting a trucking company with my family since they have been driver operators leasing authority for so many years. Thanks to people like you this process is really smooth - I kept wondering if I will meet someone willing to share this information but always though of people as selfish - you make a huge difference ! Cant thank you enough ! Every video I play gives me an answer to a question or concern!
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
I made an appointment to talk with David because I needed to get ready for an Audit and I am glad that I did, he was very helpful in directing me in the right direction. Very informative on the important paperwork I needed that he mentioned in this video and I appreciate the fact that he explained the list of items like he did in this video. Thank You David.
Hey brother I just watched your video it was very helpful thanks 🙏🏻 but I do have a question about hazmat carriers my question is when do you need hazmat uniforms alliance certificate?
Having my authority and running a cargo Van, how would that audit go? How would they go about the audit If you have your authority and running a cargo Van? Because having a cargo Van, Some of those requirements does not apply to the cargo van.
David, I'm so grateful for all the information you're sharing. I was in the school system for the last 13 years but now I'm trying to help a very ill family member maintain his trucking company. I have little to NO knowledge or experience in trucking but I'm willing to learn as much as I can in a short period. Your videos have helped me to better understand the different systems, compliances, tax laws, etc. of the trucking industry. Keep teaching King!!!! There are people out here that need and appreciate your wisdom and knowledge.
They did not come to my office but I did have to go to them. They were about an hour away. They sent an email that I contained a checklist of all the things you mentioned. Those are all the things I had to take with me. The email has the auditor’s phone number. I called and asked for clarification on some of the items. I had to upload the driver logs two day prior to going to the audit. This particular audit does not charge fines. They were informative. My email came from the department of public safety. Your information is spot on.
Thank you for the detailed video David. I’m a big fan of your videos. I’m up for my safety Audit and would love to have your template to get an outstanding audit. Do you want mind emailing it to me?
My question is: We are going to be renting out box truck for the first 30 to 60 days or so. Will we still have to provide proof of insurance and a vehicle list? We plan on using the truck rental business insurance package for now.
Hello Brother, Can you PLEASE cover the CLEARINGHOUSE NEW LAW. What it is and HOW TO BECOME COMPLIANT. If you should do it yourself, or have somebody else do it for you.
HI, David do you mind telling me what compliance company did you signed up with? I am looking to sign up with the simplex group but I am not 100% sold yet, I would like to have a second opinion
Hey guys me and my husband started the business a year ago and I’ve watched all of Mr McGills videos and the business is doing well thanks to him.....thanks MR. Mcgill
For the ELD log, what if you have ELD but don't really use it because you do Amazon postal loads with 26ft box truck only? Can a paper log book be sufficient enough to to satisfy DOT audit?
As far as submitting drivers logs, what if you haven’t been driving for the past few months bc truck has been in the shop? And where can I can pull my driving record?
Hi, thank you so much for this vital information. I do have a question I've been trying to find forms for sale tax exempt. Can you please direct me to the correct website and what to do?
So for the proof of insurance can I just sent the the certificate of insurance or we have to have the form mcs-90 we don’t transport any hazards material we only deal with Amazon relay.
Being an owner operator, how exactly does the DQ File work? I hope I don't need to fill out an application for my own business... I still need previous work history and all that? What if I've been living just off of VA disability and what my wife makes for the last few years? Now I've got my CDL and want to own my own business....

Same here. I wondered how many teachers did this
Under 26k you don't require drug test , only medical card
From what I've read and even called fmcsa if no cdl is held = under 26000lbs then no drug program is needed. Can anyone confirm this?
Hi! I try to figure out about insurance. Should to call to my insurance and to ask them about form MCS 90 or where l can take it?
what happens if I fail. I'm worry about mine
