01 / What goes in
Start with your carrier’s checklist.
Each required item has a place in the driver file. Open the item to see what to send and which details to provide.
License and medical documents
Keep a commercial driver license and medical certificate against their checklist items.
Forms and reviews
Complete the assigned form or provide the record requested by your carrier.
Dates and document versions
Issue, submission and expiration dates stay with the document. A new submission creates a new version.

02 / How review works
A submission starts a review.
The document and its details sit together. Under Review means the carrier still needs to verify the submission; it does not mean the document is Compliant.

01Follow one document1 of 1
From your phone to carrier review.
Upload an existing file, scan a paper document or fill the assigned form in the app.
The carrier reviews the submission against the checklist item before recording it as Compliant.
What if a detail is wrong?
Follow the carrier’s correction request and submit an updated document. The new submission is a new version and returns to review.
Setup, limits and privacy
A file has boundaries, too.
Know what belongs in your checklist and who should have access before you begin.
Your carrier sets the checklist
Checklist items vary by carrier. The file shown here is not a complete list of legal requirements.
Review remains a human decision
A submitted document or a high-confidence extracted value does not establish compliance. The carrier must verify it.
Confirm access before sharing
QR codes and links open driver-file information. Exact shared fields, recipient permissions, link expiration and revocation controls are awaiting confirmation. Ask your carrier before sharing personal documents.
