Keep truck renewals current

Each truck and trailer you own has its own list of renewals and inspections. Type each due date once; when it is done, Mark done moves it on to the next one.

Steps

1. Open Compliance and pick the Vehicles tab. Each row is a vehicle, sorted by what is due soonest.
2. Find the renewal under Renewals and inspections. Click its date, or Add a date if it has none, and type the due date.
3. When it is done, press Mark done. If it repeats (for example every 12 months), the date moves on by itself. If it has no schedule, type the next due date in the row and press Done.
4. To add something else to track, open the vehicle (click its row). On the Renewals and compliance tab press Add something to track.
5. Fill in What, Whose rule, Due and Repeats every (months), and press Save.
6. For something that does not apply to this vehicle, edit it and switch Applies off. It stops counting as due.

Good to know

• A truck you own starts with a short list, such as the registration renewal and, for a truck rated over 10,000 lb, the annual DOT inspection. Check each one against your own state's rules.
• A rented truck gets no list: its paperwork is the rental company's.
• The Vehicles tab also shows each vehicle's Last daily inspection (a "not safe" one in red) and its Open defects.
• Anything due within 30 days also shows on the Assets list.
• The filings owner and the dispatch team are reminded before each renewal is due and on the day.
• Company-wide items, like the fleet insurance policy, are on the Business tab. See Business filings, licences and permits.

If something goes wrong

• "No active vehicles. Add one on Assets." Add your trucks under Assets first. See Assets and vehicles.
• There is no Mark done button. The renewal has no date yet. Add the date first.
• A route will not start because of an inspection. That is the daily inspection, not a renewal. See A route will not start.
