Create your account
~2 minStart your 14-day free trial — no credit card, no setup fees, no contract.
- 1 Click Get started Free and enter your email.
- 2 Verify your email and set a password — you’re in.
- 3 You’ll land in your Fleetive dashboard, ready to set up your first company.
Pro tip: Your trial unlocks every feature on every plan — explore the whole platform before you pick a plan.
Set up your DOT company
~2 minFleetive is multi-tenant — every record is scoped to a DOT company, so your data stays clean and separated.
- 1 Enter your legal company name and USDOT number.
- 2 Add your operating authority and primary state of operation.
- 3 Running multiple authorities? Add them all and switch between them with the company switcher.
Pro tip: Your FMCSA Safety rating and BASIC percentiles are pulled in automatically once your USDOT is on file.
Add your trucks & trailers
~3 minBring every powered unit and trailer into one workspace, with documents and inspections tracked per unit.
- 1 Add each truck with its VIN, unit number, and plate — uniqueness is enforced so you’ll never get duplicates.
- 2 Upload registration, annual inspection, and any state permits (IRP, IFTA, KYU, HUT).
- 3 Add trailers the same way — they’re first-class units with their own records.
Add your drivers
~3 minBuild your roster once. Each driver gets a qualification file, compliance status, and pay history in one place.
- 1 Add drivers with their name, contact info, and employment type (company driver or owner-operator).
- 2 Enter CDL and medical card details, or let drivers upload them during onboarding (next step).
- 3 Each driver immediately gets a DQ file scaffolded against 49 CFR 391.
Turn on compliance tracking
~2 minThis is where Fleetive earns its keep — automatic monitoring so nothing expires unnoticed.
- 1 Fleetive tracks every required DQF document and credential per driver and per unit.
- 2 Expiration alerts run from T-90 to T+90, split into critical and monitor tiers.
- 3 Out-of-service drivers (expired med card, revoked CDL) are flagged before dispatch.
Pro tip: Set it once — from here on, Fleetive watches your credentials so you don’t have to.
Invite drivers to onboard
~5 minStop chasing paperwork. Send one link and drivers complete everything from their phone.
- 1 Send a secure invite by text or email — no app download required.
- 2 Drivers complete the FMCSA 49 CFR 391.21 application, upload documents, and e-sign.
- 3 Watch live progress; completed, signed files flow straight into the DQ file.
Organize your documents
~2 minEvery file in its place — structured, secure, and audit-ready on demand.
- 1 Documents auto-organize into DQF folders per driver and per truck.
- 2 Storage is private and served via pre-signed links — never public URLs.
- 3 Every upload, download, and change is captured in a full audit trail (soft-delete keeps history).
Set up driver settlements
~4 minConfigure pay once and let Fleetive do the math — accurate, itemized, and on time.
- 1 Create a pay profile per driver: per-mile, percentage, hourly, or flat — plus bonuses, advances, and recurring deductions.
- 2 Every load applies the profile automatically — no spreadsheets.
- 3 Each pay period generates a clean, itemized statement your drivers can trust.
Pro tip: Fleetive calculates settlements and produces statements — you stay in control of how drivers actually get paid.
Invite your team
~1 minBring your office in with the right level of access.
- 1 Invite dispatchers, safety managers, and admins by email.
- 2 Assign roles so each person sees exactly what they need — nothing more.
- 3 Everyone works from the same live data, scoped to your company.
