Why it matters

Incomplete driver files aren’t a paperwork problem.

Most fleets manage DQFs in spreadsheets, filing cabinets, or generic cloud storage — and discover the gaps during a compliance review, when it’s already too late.

Operations stop

A compliance review that turns up missing qualification files can sideline drivers until the records are produced and corrected.

Penalties stack per violation

Recordkeeping violations under 49 CFR Part 391 carry civil penalties assessed per driver, per file — the exposure scales with your fleet, not with the mistake.

The record follows you

Violations feed your CSA safety profile, which insurers price against and shippers screen on. One bad review outlasts the audit by years.

How FileReady works

Four steps. Then it runs itself.

01

Upload

Drag in driver documents. AI validates each one against the correct §391 requirement.

02

Score

Every driver gets a live compliance score. You see fleet-wide status at a glance.

03

Alert

Med certs, MVRs, annual reviews — alerts fire at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days out.

04

Renew

Request replacements from drivers by secure link. No login needed on their end.

What to expect

Twenty minutes, and you’ll know where you stand.

01

Bring one real driver file

We walk it against Part 391 line by line — the same order an investigator would.

02

See your gaps

A live compliance score and the exact list of what’s missing, expired, or about to expire.

03

Decide on your terms

Get pricing for your fleet and sign up, or don’t. No contract, and the gap list is yours either way.

Before you ask

The questions we get most.

We already keep files in a cabinet and a spreadsheet.

That works right up until something expires quietly. FileReady doesn’t replace your process so much as watch it — it knows which document satisfies which §391 requirement, when each one lapses, and who to chase. On the call we’ll run one of your existing files through it so you can see the difference on your own data.

How long does setup take?

Most fleets are uploading the same day. There’s no implementation project and no IT involvement — you add drivers, drop in the documents you already have, and FileReady tells you what’s missing.

Is our driver data secure?

Documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Each fleet’s data is fully isolated from every other tenant, and role-based access means your team sees only what their role allows.

What does it cost?

We’ll give you exact pricing for your fleet on the call, and there is no contract.

Find out what’s missing before an auditor does.

Twenty minutes on your own files. Free either way.
