About This Automation Tracking driver licenses, medical cards, vehicle registrations, and inspection paperwork by hand requires constant manual cross-checking across spreadsheets, folders, and email threads. Missed renewal dates can pull a driver or vehicle out of service or trigger compliance violations.
An automated version scans records daily, follows up on missing documents automatically, and alerts dispatch the moment something is expiring. This keeps the fleet audit ready and reduces the risk of sending out a non-compliant truck.
Key features:
Scan driver and vehicle records daily for upcoming expirations Send automatic follow-up requests to drivers and shops for missing documents File verified documents into the correct driver or vehicle folder Update the compliance tracker with current statuses in real time Notify dispatch immediately when a document expires or is about to expire Distribute a weekly compliance summary to management Top friction points when done manually The issues teams report most often with this process
