The problem

Every Gap Becomes a Finding the Day the Auditor Arrives.

A compliance review can land with days of notice. The investigator samples driver qualification files, hours-of-service records, drug and alcohol program records, maintenance files and the accident register — and one acute violation, or a pattern of critical ones, in a single factor can drop your safety rating. Readiness doesn’t fail on audit day. It erodes quietly in the months before, one expired medical card and one missing annual review at a time.

The problem isn’t passing the audit. It’s knowing where you stand before anyone asks.

X3 Intelligence

A Filing Cabinet Holds Records. X3 Tells You What They Would Rate.

The Audit Readiness Score blends your live public CSA exposure with document readiness across the six safety-rating factors — weighted the way §385.7 weighs them, so acute and critical violations count for what they cost.

Factor exposure

Which of the six factors would rate Unsatisfactory today?

Acute & critical

Which single violations could fail a factor on their own?

Document readiness

What’s missing, expired, or unsigned before the sample is pulled?

CSA exposure

Which BASICs are near an intervention threshold?

Priority fixes

What to close first, ranked by rating impact?

Likely outcome

Satisfactory, Conditional, or Unsatisfactory — and why.

Stop counting documents. Start knowing your rating.

The six safety-rating factors

Rated the Way FMCSA Rates You.

A compliance review scores a carrier on six factors under 49 CFR §385.7. X3 tracks every one — the parts it covers, the records the investigator samples, and the acute and critical violations that decide the rating — and routes each gap to the fix.

Six Factors. One Rating.

FACTOR 1

General

Parts 387 & 390 — operating authority, insurance filings, MCS-150, process agent.
FACTOR 2

Driver

Parts 382, 383 & 391 — DQ files, medical cards, annual reviews, drug & alcohol program.
FACTOR 3

Operational

Parts 392 & 395 — hours of service, ELD records, supporting documents.
FACTOR 4

Vehicle

Parts 393 & 396 — maintenance files, DVIRs, annual inspections.
FACTOR 5

Hazardous Materials

Parts 397, 171, 177 & 180 — where your operation carries it.
FACTOR 6

Accident

Recordable accident rate — and the register behind it.
Prepare and defend

Finding the Gap Is Only the Beginning.

X3 turns each finding into a repeatable response — from the first score to the proof an investigator accepts.

01

Gap identified

A missing, expired, or unsigned record enters the readiness picture.

02

Corrective action plan drafted

Root cause, owner, due date, and the evidence that closes it.

03

Audit packet assembled

The document request an auditor sends — built in the order it’s asked.

04

Notice decoded

Paste or upload a Notice of Investigation or warning letter — meaning, deadline, and a response outline.

05

Response drafted

The reply, with the records that support it, ready for your review.

06

Proof filed

Evidence attached to the plan, so “we fixed it” comes with a record.

07

Readiness re-scored

The score reflects what you closed — and what’s next.

Detect. Correct. Document. Prove. One continuous workflow.

Continuous readiness

Don’t Prepare for an Audit. Prepare Every Day.

Readiness isn’t a one-time score. Every time you run the readiness score or the probability engine, X3 captures a snapshot — so you see the trend, catch a slip the moment it shows, and know exactly what changed since the last run.

Your safety team shouldn’t rediscover the same gap every quarter. It should watch it close.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

What safety directors and owners ask before they start with X3 DOT Audit.

X3 DOT Audit shields the fleet: a truck behind a cyan shield on black
What is X3 DOT Audit?
X3 DOT Audit is a continuous audit-readiness platform for FMCSA-regulated carriers. It scores your readiness across the six Part 385 safety-rating factors, runs a mock audit, builds your audit packet, drafts corrective action plans, and decodes any FMCSA notice you receive — from one system.
Is this a real FMCSA audit?
No. The mock audit is a practice simulation grounded in the Part 385 factors — decision support to get you ready. FMCSA conducts the actual audit, compliance review, or investigation; X3 makes sure you walk in prepared.
What are the six safety-rating factors?
Under 49 CFR §385.7, a compliance review rates a carrier on six factors: General (Parts 387 and 390), Driver (Parts 382, 383 and 391), Operational (Parts 392 and 395), Vehicle (Parts 393 and 396), Hazardous Materials (Parts 397, 171, 177 and 180, where applicable), and Accident (recordable accident rate). X3 tracks all six.
How is the readiness score built?
It blends your live public CSA exposure with your document readiness across the six factors, weighted the way the rating weighs them — acute and critical violations count heaviest. Scores are modeled estimates, not FMCSA determinations.
Does X3 DOT Audit monitor continuously?
Readiness is tracked over time. Each time you run the readiness score or the probability engine, X3 captures a snapshot, so you can see your trend and catch a slip the moment it appears. Your CSA data is refreshed from your public SAFER/SMS record on every run.
What happens when a factor slips?
The change shows in your score and trend, X3 ranks the fixes by rating impact, and the corrective-action builder turns each one into a plan with an owner, a due date, and the evidence that closes it.
Can it help if I’ve already been scheduled for an audit?
Yes. Run the mock audit, build the packet the investigator will request, and work the corrective-action builder document by document across all six factors before the auditor arrives. Paste or upload the notice and X3 decodes the deadline and the response it expects.
Does it work across multiple terminals or DOT numbers?
Yes. X3 DOT Audit scores at the driver, vehicle, terminal, fleet, and executive level, so leadership can see which location would sink the audit first and where readiness is improving.
Does AI replace our safety team or consultant?
No. X3 is decision support that makes every hour with your safety team, consultant, or the auditor more productive. Human judgment remains essential for compliance, corrective-action, and regulatory-response decisions, and final responsibility rests with the carrier.
How does pricing work?
One plan, priced by power unit as reported on your MCS-150. From $99 a month, which covers your first 10 units. Units 11 through 100 add $10 each per month, and every unit past 100 adds $5, unlimited. A 50-unit fleet is $499 a month; 100 units is $999; 250 units is $1,749. Every tool is included at every size.
Can I buy it once, without a subscription?
Yes. The Audit Defense Package is $999 one-time for fleets up to 25 power units: thirty days of the readiness score, mock audit, audit packet, corrective action plans, and notice decoder. If you subscribe within 60 days, the $999 is credited toward your first year. Larger one-time engagements are quoted.
How do we start, and what do we need?
Start with your USDOT number — X3 pulls your public FMCSA record. Then answer the readiness questions or upload your files for the mock audit. If you already use X3 MVR, HOS, Drug & Alcohol, DataQ, CSA, or Verify, DOT Audit reads the records those products hold.
