Establish what applies.
Then check the proof.
Start with the operation — not the document pile. The Toolkit determines which federal-baseline requirements belong in the working record, then keeps Current, stale, missing, conflicting, Untouched, and Unknown evidence separate.
A requirement cannot be missing until it belongs in your record.
Your Operation establishes scope first. Applicable requirements then enter the evidence ledger. Not Applicable is not a deficiency. Untouched means you have not answered yet. Unknown means you answered honestly that the proof is unavailable.
Describe the operation before opening the requirement ledger.
Use the closest factual answer. Choose Unknown when a material fact is not established. This federal-baseline screen does not replace state-specific, hazardous-material, passenger-carrier, agricultural, or other specialist applicability review.
Interstate status can depend on the movement of the freight, not only where the truck physically travels.

What this Toolkit will not do.
Do not put sensitive identifiers into this Toolkit. No SSN, CDL number, driver’s-license image, bank information, USDOT PIN, portal credential, or medical detail is needed here.
Federal baseline, not a universal legal determination. State-only operations, hazardous materials, passenger service, agricultural exceptions, and specialist circumstances can require additional review.
