Trucking Document Management

Document management built for trucking — every driver and vehicle file, in one place

DriverDocs Hub replaces the filing cabinet, the shared inbox, and the unstructured Dropbox folder with a purpose-built document system that maps every file to the FMCSA rule and driver it belongs to — so nothing is ever lost, expired, or unfindable when an auditor asks.

  • Mobile self-upload from any driver's phone
  • Auto-categorization for CDLs, med cards, MVRs, inspections
  • Full version history with timestamps and attribution
  • Instant search across every driver and vehicle file

Why trucking documents are different

A trucking document isn't just a PDF — it's a regulated artifact with an expiration date, an owner, an audit relevance, and a chain of custody. A medical examiner's certificate has a known expiration window, has to be in a specific driver's §391 file, has to be retained even after it's superseded, and may be requested by FMCSA, an insurer, or a shipper at any time. Generic storage tools treat all of that as metadata you have to maintain manually. DriverDocs Hub treats it as the structure of the system itself.

What DriverDocs Hub stores for every driver

Everything required by 49 CFR §391, §382, and §380, plus everything insurers and shippers commonly ask for — in one searchable, audit-ready file per driver.

  • CDLs, with state and class detection
  • Medical examiner's certificates (DOT med cards)
  • Driver employment applications
  • Annual MVRs and driving record reviews
  • Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse query records
  • Pre-employment screening (PSP) reports
  • Previous-employer inquiry responses
  • Road test certificates
  • HazMat endorsements, TWIC cards, passport copies

What DriverDocs Hub stores for every vehicle

Vehicle compliance is the other half of FMCSA exposure, and DriverDocs Hub keeps it in the same searchable system as your driver files.

  • Annual DOT inspections (§396.17)
  • Maintenance and repair records
  • Roadside inspection reports
  • Insurance certificates per unit
  • Registration, IFTA, and IRP documents
  • Lease agreements for owner-operator units

Search, version history, and audit trail

Every document in DriverDocs Hub is searchable by driver, vehicle, document type, expiration window, or upload date. Every replacement preserves the prior version with a timestamp and the user who uploaded it. When an auditor asks for documents from a specific date range, you don't dig — you filter, select, and export.

Built for the office and the road

Office staff work in a desktop dashboard with bulk operations and reporting. Drivers work from a phone link — take a photo of the new med card, the document is uploaded, categorized, dated, and added to the §391 file in seconds. No app to install, no password to remember, no email back-and-forth.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from Dropbox or Google Drive for a trucking company?
Generic cloud storage holds files. It doesn't know that this PDF is a medical examiner's certificate, that it expires on a specific date, that it belongs to a specific driver's §391 file, or that the driver needs a renewal reminder at 60/30/14/7 days. DriverDocs Hub is purpose-built for FMCSA documentation — every file is mapped to the rule it satisfies and the driver or vehicle it belongs to.
Can drivers upload documents from their phone?
Yes. Every driver gets a secure self-upload link they can use from any phone — at a truck stop, at home, or at a customer dock. Photos of CDLs, med cards, and inspections are auto-categorized and added to the right file.
Do you keep version history of replaced documents?
Yes. When a driver uploads a new med card, the previous one isn't deleted — it's archived with a timestamp showing when it was superseded. Auditors frequently ask for prior-version documents, and DriverDocs Hub keeps the full chain.
Can I export a single driver's full file as one PDF?
Yes. One click exports a driver's complete DQ file in §391 order as a single PDF — the exact format FMCSA investigators, insurance underwriters, and major shippers ask for.
