Trucking Fleet Inspection & Maintenance Software

On 10 January 2026, the paper medical examiner's certificate in your driver's qualification file stopped counting as proof of anything. Medical certificate MVR verification is now the only recognised way to confirm a CDL driver is medically qualif

You find out the worst way: a roadside officer runs your driver's CDL, the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse flags him as prohibited, and now the truck is parked, the load is late, and you're the one explaining why nobody ran the annual query that wa

You know the feeling when a tanker trailer gets pulled at roadside and the officer asks for the last leakage test report — and the answer is a shrug, a phone call to the shop, and forty minutes of digging through a filing cabinet that may or may n

You know the truck only did 40 miles today. What the odometer does not show is the 60 hoist cycles, the two hours of idling in the pit queue, the washboard haul road and the full load dropped on the body from a loader bucket three feet up. That is

Intermodal chassis maintenance is one of the most contested corners of fleet compliance, because the equipment belongs to one party, gets pulled by another, and the roadside citation lands on whoever is holding the wheel. When you run drayage, you

The auditor is already in your office, coffee in hand, and asks for six months of DVIRs on unit 214 plus the maintenance file going back to the day you bought it. If your answer involves a filing cabinet, a storage box and a shrug, the audit is al

Your trailer pool probably outnumbers your tractors two or three to one, yet the last time anyone walked around most of those vans was when a driver hooked up and glanced at the lights. That gap is exactly where a dry van trailer maintenance progr

Reefer trailer maintenance fails quietly: the trailer passes its annual inspection, the tyres look fine, and then the refrigeration unit dies at hour 2,900 because nobody tracked its service schedule separately from the trailer's mileage. A refrig

You're watching a driver throw a strap over a coil at 6 AM, and you already know that strap has a cut near the hook that nobody wrote down. That moment is where flatbed trailer maintenance either holds up or falls apart, because cargo securement i

The call always comes at the worst time: a driver stranded on an interstate shoulder at 2 a.m., a reefer load at risk, and the nearest shop you trust is 400 miles away. Sleeper tractor maintenance is a different discipline from yard-based fleet wo

You know the feeling. The quarter closes, the fleet-wide maintenance number looks acceptable, and then unit 214 rolls in with its third turbo in eighteen months and you realize the average has been lying to you all year. Cost per mile trucking mat

It is 7:40 on a Tuesday morning and a DOT officer is standing in your yard asking for ninety days of driver vehicle inspection reports on unit 214. You know the binder exists. You also know half the reports in it are missing the mechanic's signatu

Your dispatcher in Denver swears the tractor was inspected last week. Your terminal manager in Phoenix says the file never arrived. Meanwhile, the driver assigned to that unit tomorrow morning has a DQ file gap nobody caught, and the annual inspec

You find out a tractor is 4,000 miles past its oil service the same way everyone does: the driver mentions a noise, you pull the file, and the last PM sticker is three months old. That moment is why preventive maintenance scheduling for trucking f

You've seen it happen. A driver walks the truck in four minutes, taps the DVIR, and rolls out. Three hours later a roadside officer writes up a chafed air line and a marker lamp that was out before sunrise. Under the 2026 CSA vehicle maintenance s

FMCSA's CSA overhaul for 2026 rewires how your safety score is built: more than 950 violation codes collapse into roughly 100 groups, out-of-service violations now carry a severity weight of two, the counting window shrinks to twelve months, and a

It's 6:40 on a Tuesday morning in May, and your dispatcher just texted: two of your trucks are parked at a scale house on I-80, one with a cargo securement violation and one with an ELD the inspector says "doesn't look right." CVSA Roadcheck prepa

The scale house lights are on, the trooper is walking back with your driver's tablet, and you already know how this ends: another hours of service violation on the carrier record, a driver parked for ten hours, and a load that now needs a rescue d

The roadside inspector just handed you a violation for a worn brake hose that your last PM was supposed to catch. Now the truck is sitting on the shoulder, the load is late, and the fine notice will land in three weeks. For trucking carriers, main

A driver notes a brake imbalance on a pre-trip paper DVIR, slips it into the seat-back pocket, and rolls out because the dispatcher is waiting. Three days later, that sheet is still sitting in the cab when a roadside inspector puts the truck out o

For years carriers ran electronic DVIRs in a legal grey zone, accepted in practice but never spelled out in the regulations. That ended on 23 March 2026. Under FMCSA's final rule FMCSA-2025-0115, an eDVIR app is now explicitly compliant under 49 C

A DOT audit never starts with the auditor opening a single binder. It starts with them asking for four things at once — yesterday's DVIRs, the maintenance file on truck 14, last year's annual inspection sticker, and the paperwork from that roadsid

You know the feeling: the DOT auditor asks for last Tuesday's DVIR on Truck 47, and somewhere between the cab, the shop floor and a filing cabinet there is a torn, coffee-stained sheet with two of the three required signatures missing. Trucking fl
