Data Q Challenges

Many roadside or terminal inspections contain errors or incorrect violations, which can negatively impact your CSA score. Since these inspections are one of the two primary ways your CSA score is determined, even a single mistake—especially an Out-of-Service violation—can have significant consequences. Although officers are trained nationwide to meet high standards, once in the field, errors can occur that don’t always reflect this training.

The good news is that you don’t have to face this alone! Many carriers are unaware they can challenge incorrect violations or may feel uncertain about how to proceed. That’s where we come in to help:

• We’ll review any inspections you believe contain errors or incorrect violations.
• We’ll offer expert advice on whether the violations or mistakes are likely to be incorrect.
• We’ll prepare a detailed DATA Q Challenge on your behalf, which includes consulting with the driver and thoroughly researching the specifics of the violation or mistake.
• We’ll submit the DATA Q Challenge to the FMCSA for you, handling the process from start to finish.

With our assistance, you can correct errors, protect your CSA score, and focus on what you do best—running your business.
