Driver qualification files
DOT driver files, always audit-ready.
Driver qualification files live in scattered PDFs, portal logins, and spreadsheets — until an auditor asks for them. DQF puts every CDL driver's file in one place, tracked against the federal requirements, with expirations surfaced before they become violations.

What you get
Built for the file the auditor asks for
Complete qualification files
Every driver file is structured to 49 CFR Parts 391 and 382 — application, MVR inquiries, road test, medical certificate, safety performance history, and Clearinghouse queries, each tracked to its requirement.
Action Center
One ranked to-do list of everything missing, expiring, or overdue across your fleet — with expiration windows surfaced before they become violations.
Document vault
Uploads with version history and a full audit trail. Replace a document and the chain of custody stays intact.
Online driver applications
Send applicants a link. They complete a DOT employment application — accident history, violations, 40.25(j) questions — and e-sign. You review and hire.
Driver self-service
Invite drivers to complete their own file: upload documents, fill their application, keep their record current — scoped to their own record only.
Audit export
One click packages a driver's file for a DOT audit: manifest, documents, and a complete audit-trail CSV.
How it works
Follow one driver from application to audit.
Sample driver, not a real person. Ordered = you order it in the portal and we run it. The MVR is required by 49 CFR 391.23; CDLIS, PSP and the criminal background check are recommended.
One file per driver
From a pile of paperwork to one organized file.
