When this page is useful

A carrier with a proposed or final Conditional or Unsatisfactory safety rating may be able to request a rating change based on corrective action. Supporting work can include organizing the corrective-action explanation and evidence, but FMCSA makes the decision. This page is for carriers, owner-operators and related transportation businesses that need to understand the service area before sharing details with DOT Compliance Companies.

What a careful review should cover

A careful review starts with facts that can be checked: rating or notice involved, corrective actions completed and supporting documents available. Those details help define the scope of the issue and the records or requirements that may need review.

How DOT Compliance Companies can help

DOT Compliance Companies can review the request and help identify the private compliance support, record review or filing assistance that may be appropriate. No filing result, data correction, safety-rating change, audit result, price or government response time is guaranteed.

Official source to check

Use FMCSA as the official starting point for the agency record or rule area connected with this topic. DOT Compliance Companies is a private compliance-support service and is not affiliated with FMCSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation or any government agency.

What to have ready

Have the proposed or final safety rating notice, the deficiencies identified by FMCSA, details of corrective action already completed and the documents available to support those corrective actions.

Details worth gathering

  • rating or notice involved
  • corrective actions completed
  • supporting documents available
Regulatory note: Only FMCSA can change an FMCSA safety rating. A request based on corrective action does not guarantee that the rating will be changed. Check FMCSA.

Service limits

DOT Compliance Companies can provide private compliance support, record review and filing assistance where appropriate. Government agencies make regulatory decisions, and the motor carrier remains responsible for meeting the requirements that apply to its operation.
