What Is a Corrective Action Plan?
When you receive a conditional or unsatisfactory safety rating from an FMCSA compliance review, you must submit a corrective action plan within a specified timeframe. The plan must acknowledge each violation, explain what caused it, describe what you are doing to fix it, and show how you will prevent it from happening again.
A CAP is not a form; it is an argument, backed by documentation, that your company deserves to keep operating. That is why we build each one custom to the violations on your letter.
What Happens After I Order?
Send us a copy of your Failed Audit Letter from the FMCSA. We review it within one business day and contact you to outline a plan of action and provide a final quote for your custom CAP. CAPs start at $450 and vary based on the violations listed. From there we draft the plan, help you gather the evidence, file it, and stay on it until the FMCSA approves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to respond?+
Times may vary. Generally, if you just failed an audit, you only have 15 days to prepare and submit a CAP to ensure it is reviewed and approved before you are placed out of service. If you're already out of service, a response can be sent at any time.
What happens if I do not respond?+
Your authority may be revoked and your DOT number will be placed out of service if you do not submit a satisfactory corrective action plan within the required timeframe.
Do you guarantee the outcome?+
No one can guarantee the FMCSA's decision. But a well-prepared corrective action plan significantly improves your chances of a favorable outcome, and TIPS has a 100% success rate in getting CAPs approved and carriers back in service.
What does a CAP cost?+
CAPs start at $450. The final price depends on the violations listed on your failed audit letter, and you get the exact quote after we review it, within one business day of you sending it over.
What violations usually trigger a failed audit?+
The FMCSA maintains a list of automatic failure violations: missing drug and alcohol programs, no driver qualification files, insurance below requirements, and more. Our guide to the 16 automatic failures covers every one.
What goes into the plan itself?+
For each violation: what happened, why it happened, what you have already fixed, and the systems now in place so it doesn't recur, all supported by documentation like enrollment certificates, driver files, and policies. We build the plan and the evidence pile with you.
