DataQs and the Single-Truck Operator
As the old saying goes, “The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.” This analogy is easily applied to the DataQ process as “If inaccurate data is not reviewed, only the carrier suffers.” While large carriers have teams of safety specialists and intermediate carriers often have at least one dedicated safety director to perform Requests for Data Review (RDR, or DataQ for short), for single-truck owner/operators, this function, as with so many aspects of single-truck motor carriers, becomes the responsibility of that owner.
