The Problem
Fleet operators and trucking companies manage a mountain of expiring documents. Every driver has a CDL, DOT medical card, and potentially hazmat endorsements. Every vehicle has a registration, annual DOT inspection, and insurance policy. On top of that, there are IFTA permits, UCR registrations, and cargo insurance — all on different renewal cycles.
A single expired DOT medical card can put a driver out of service. An overdue annual inspection means that vehicle cannot legally operate. The fines for non-compliance are steep, and a failed roadside inspection goes on your CSA score.
