PermitSafe

Built for how trucking actually works

Every feature in PermitSafe comes from real fleet management pain points — not feature checklists. Here's what you get.

Available on all plans

Roadside compliance in under 2 minutes

When a DOT officer pulls your driver over, every second matters. PermitSafe gets all the right documents in front of the officer instantly — no binders, no fumbling, no delays.

  • QR code instant access — every truck gets a unique QR code. Officers scan with any smartphone, no app required.
  • Pulled Over Mode — driver taps one button to open a 15-minute access window. Documents lock again automatically when it expires.
  • Truck-trailer linking — one QR scan surfaces both truck and trailer documents together, exactly what inspectors need.
  • Complete audit trail — every scan is timestamped and logged so you can prove compliance history during DOT audits.

  • Configurable schedules — alerts at 90, 60, 30, 15, 7, 3, and 1 days before expiration. Set exactly what your operation needs.
  • Acknowledgment system — recipients acknowledge alerts to stop reminders until the next threshold hits.
  • Critical alert dashboard — expired and imminently expiring documents surface as prominent alerts every time you log in.
  • Vehicle & driver documents — covers both vehicle compliance docs and driver credential renewals in one system.

SmartRoute Compliance™

Different documents need different people to handle them. SmartRoute lets you define exactly who gets notified for what — with automatic escalation when nobody responds.

  • Per-document routing rules — route insurance renewals to your broker, registrations to your dispatcher, DOT inspections to your safety director.
  • Escalation contacts — if the primary contact doesn't act within a configurable window, the alert escalates automatically.
  • Fleet & vehicle level rules — set default routing for the whole company or override per vehicle.
  • Full notification log — see exactly who was notified, when, and whether they acknowledged.
