Motor Carriers who apply for their Motor Carrier Authority are referred to as New Entrants. They will be subjected to a New Entrant Safety Audit within the first 12 months of receiving their authority. The FMCSA will verify that the company has proper safety policies and procedures in place. If the Motor Carrier fails the New Entrant Audit they may lose their Motor Carrier Authority.
