DOT compliance automation

DOT Compliance That Runs Itself. Set Up in 2 Minutes.

Expired documents mean DOT fines and out-of-service orders. Five automations get ahead of them: expiration alerts at 30, 14, 7 and 3 days, upload links for drivers, application reminders, annual MVR orders and a weekly compliance report.

  • Part 391 deadlines: medical certificates, licenses, annual MVRs
  • Trucking, school bus, senior and medical transport
  • Alerts by email and text message, to you and your drivers

How much time does manual DOT compliance tracking cost?

About 6 hours a week: checking spreadsheets for expiration dates, chasing drivers for expired medical cards, ordering MVRs by hand, building reports. Here is where the week goes, and what is left of it once the automations take over.

Expiration alerts

The safety net between you and a DOT fine

A lapsed medical card or an expired license is an out-of-service order waiting to happen. You get alerts at 30, 14, 7 and 3 days before any document expires, so you find out early, not during an audit.

  • A daily digest in your inbox every morning
  • Drivers get their own reminders, so you stop being the bad guy
  • Text messages for critical expirations, because some deadlines cannot wait

Auto upload links

Drivers renew their own documents. You never make the call.

You know the drill: the medical card expires, you call the driver, no answer, you call again. This ends that. Drivers get a secure upload link automatically. They tap, upload, done.

  • Works for medical cards, CDLs and any expiring document
  • Reminders every 3 days until the driver uploads
  • Escalation at 3, 7 and 14 days, without you lifting a finger

Application reminders

Stop losing drivers to unfinished applications

A driver starts your application, gets distracted and never comes back. That is a lost hire, and the recruiting money that brought them in. Automatic reminders bring them back before they sign with someone else.

  • Day 3: a nudge while they still remember you
  • Day 7: a last reminder before they move on
  • Email and text message, wherever they are

Annual MVR auto-order

The FMCSA requirement you will never forget again

§391.25 requires an annual MVR review for every driver, and a missed one is a violation per driver. The system tracks each hire anniversary and orders the MVR 30 days before it is due. It arrives and files itself. For the eleven months in between, continuous license monitoring flags a suspension or a new violation when it happens.

  • Tracks every driver's hire anniversary automatically
  • Paid from your wallet balance, same price as a manual order
  • The MVR files to the driver’s DQF on arrival

Compliance automation FAQ

How do I turn on automations? +

Go to Settings, then Driver Automations. You will see all five automations, each with its own switch. Turn on the ones you want, choose who receives the notifications (you, your drivers or both) and you are live. The whole setup takes under two minutes.

Will drivers get spammed with notifications? +

No. Reminders are throttled on purpose: at most 3 reminders per form, at least 2 days apart, and no more than 3 notifications to one driver in a single day. Text messages are kept for critical cases only, such as an expired document with no response after 3 days. Email is the main channel.

Do automations apply to existing drivers, or only new hires? +

Every driver in your account, existing and new. The moment you turn on expiration alerts, every document for every driver already in the system is tracked. MVR auto-order does the same with each driver’s hire anniversary. There is nothing to configure per driver.

How much does auto MVR ordering cost? +

The same price as ordering it by hand: no markup and no automation surcharge. The cost comes out of your wallet balance when the MVR is ordered, so keep the wallet funded and the system handles the rest.

What happens if a driver uploads a new document? +

The reminders stop. The moment a driver uploads a new document, every pending reminder and alert for that document is cancelled and the file updates. No duplicate notifications, and no calls asking why the alerts keep coming.

Which documents do the automations track? +

Any document in a driver’s file that has an expiration date on record. Most often that is the medical examiner’s certificate, the driver’s license or CDL, and the annual MVR review, which is ordered for you 30 days before each hire anniversary. All of it lives in the driver’s qualification file.

When do expiration alerts go out? +

At 30, 14, 7 and 3 days before a document expires, by email, with a daily digest in your inbox each morning. Drivers get their own reminders, and text messages are kept for critical or already-expired documents.

Can drivers renew documents from their phone? +

Yes. When a document is due, the driver gets a secure upload link. They open it on their phone and upload the new document. Reminders repeat every 3 days until they do, and stop the moment they upload.

Does it work for school bus and senior transport fleets? +

Yes. The automations work the same way for any operation that keeps driver qualification files: trucking, school bus, senior and medical transport. They follow each driver’s documents and deadlines, whatever the vehicle.

If I manage several companies, does each one get its own alerts? +

Yes. Alerts run per company, so each one tells you which company it belongs to, and every company’s drivers, documents and deadlines stay separate. You can run all of them from one login.

Every week you wait is another week of missed deadlines and wasted hours.

Five automations, a two-minute setup and 6+ hours back every week. No more chasing drivers, no forgotten MVRs, no explaining expired documents to an auditor.
