Everything you need to stay compliant

No hidden fees. No trial period. The free plan is free because owner operators should not have to pay just to keep their permits organized.

QR code for your truck

Every truck gets a unique QR sticker. Officers scan with their phone camera — no app, no login, just your documents.

Pulled Over Mode

One tap opens a 15-minute window for the officer to view your documents. Closes automatically. Private the rest of the time.

Expiration alerts

Get notified at 90, 60, 30, 15, 7, 3, and 1 days before anything expires. Registration, insurance, DOT inspection — nothing slips through.

All your documents, organized

Registration, insurance cert, DOT annual inspection, IFTA license, permits — upload once, always accessible from your phone.

Trailer support

Run a truck and trailer? Link them together. An officer scanning your truck QR sees both sets of documents automatically.

Audit trail

Every QR scan is logged with a timestamp. If DOT ever asks about your compliance history, you have the receipts.

Up and running in under an hour

You do not need a fleet manager or IT department. If you can take a photo with your phone, you can set up PermitSafe.

"I built PermitSafe because I was a CDL driver and I lived this problem. Digging through a binder on the side of the road while an officer waits. Calling the office because a permit was missing. Getting a violation because something expired and nobody caught it. I knew there had to be a better way — so I built it."
The founder of PermitSafe CDL driver turned software developer

Common questions

Yes. Up to 5 vehicles, no credit card, no trial period. If you grow past 5 trucks you can upgrade to Professional at $12/vehicle/month.

Electronic IRP cab cards and IFTA licenses have been required to be accepted in all jurisdictions since January 2019. Most other compliance documents are broadly accepted digitally. Acceptance can vary by document type and state — check your specific state requirements or keep physical backups where you are unsure.

PermitSafe requires an internet connection to access documents. For low-coverage routes, activate Pulled Over Mode before you lose signal, or keep a physical backup for those specific stretches.

Absolutely — and it is free. One truck still has a registration, insurance cert, DOT annual inspection, and possibly IFTA and oversize permits to track. One missed renewal can take your truck out of service. The alerts alone are worth the 30 minutes it takes to set up.

Free for owner operators. Always.
