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.
