After inspection
Read every listed violation, keep the report and notify the carrier’s safety contact promptly. Correct equipment defects even when a data review may be requested.
Build the record
Preserve legible documents that address the exact disputed fact; a general disagreement is less useful than dated, specific evidence.
Driver takeaway
DataQs is a review process, not a substitute for compliance or a guarantee that a record will be changed.
