Driver Qualification File Management for DOT & Non-DOT Fleets

Smart Compliance. Simplified Oversight. Trusted Safety.

Whether you’re managing CDL drivers under DOT regulations or non-CDL drivers outside FMCSA oversight, your fleet still needs effective driver qualification file (DQF) software. DQM Connect is built to streamline driver file management across the board—helping you stay audit-ready, reduce risk, and improve safety.

What Type of Drivers Are in Your Fleet?

DOT-Regulated Drivers
Non-DOT Drivers (Non-CDL)
Mixed Fleet (CDL + Non-CDL Drivers)
Not Sure

DOT-Regulated Drivers

If your drivers operate vehicles over 10,001 lbs, transport 9+ passengers, or haul hazmat materials, they are DOT-regulated. That means you’re responsible for strict FMCSA driver qualification requirements—but DQM Connect makes managing those files straightforward.

Compliance Features:

  • CDL license tracking & expiration alerts
  • Medical Examiner’s Certificate management
  • DOT drug & alcohol testing program records
  • Annual MVR checks & driving history reviews
  • Pre-employment screening & safety performance history
  • Signed applications & driver agreements
  • File retention & document expiration notifications

Safety Tools:

  • Driver training tracking
  • Continuous MVR (Motor Vehicle Record) and CSA monitoring
  • Individual risk evaluations & pattern detection

DQM Connect acts as your full-service DOT driver qualification file management system—with everything organized and audit-ready.

Non-DOT Drivers

If your drivers aren’t governed by the DOT but still drive company vehicles—think delivery drivers, sales reps, or techs—they still need to meet internal safety and insurance requirements. DQM Connect supports non-CDL driver file management to keep everyone in check.

Compliance Support:

  • Applicant tracking system (ATS)
  • License and ID expiration monitoring
  • Background check recordkeeping
  • Document uploads with timestamped audit trails
  • Digital signature tracking
  • Automated alerts and renewal notifications
  • Secure auditor access portal
  • Continuous license monitoring

Safety Oversight:

  • Background checks and MVRs
  • Insurance document uploads
  • Custom safety policies & acknowledgment tracking
  • Custom file checklists based on job role
  • Pre-employment documentation workflows
  • Continuous performance reviews and driver history notes

Keep safety as a priority for your whole fleet- even those drivers not subject to fmcsa rule—with driver file software that supports non-regulated driver qualification file tracking.

A Mixed Fleet of DOT and Non-DOT Drivers

Managing both DOT regulated and non regulated drivers? DQM was built exactly for this! You can standardize processed across your entire team with just one software platform that flexes to your fleet’s operations and needs.

  • Assign specific compliance checklists by driver type
  • Continuous license monitoring for ALL driver types
  • Track DOT documents like medical exams & MVRs
  • Monitor non-CDL license expirations & safety policies
  • Manage training, certifications, and performance history in one place

One platform. One process. Total fleet coverage.

Not Sure Where Your Fleet Falls?

Ask yourself:

  1. Do your drivers operate vehicles over 10,001 lbs?
  2. Do they carry 9+ passengers (including the driver) for compensation?
  3. Do they transport hazardous materials that require placards?

If yes, your fleet likely includes DOT-regulated drivers.

Safety Is Your Priority—FMCSA Regulations or Not

DQM Connect®: Safety Tracking That Goes Beyond Compliance

Even if your drivers don’t fall under FMCSA rules, they still represent your business on the road. From accidents to MVR infractions, poor safety records can inflate insurance premiums and damage trust. DQM Connect equips you to monitor all drivers—DOT or non-DOT—through a central dashboard for incident tracking, training workflows, and proactive safety interventions.

DOT vs. Non-DOT Driver Qualification Requirements

DOT Drivers must comply with FMCSA guidelines including:

  • CDL licensing
  • DOT medical exams
  • Drug & alcohol testing
  • Annual MVR reviews
  • Safety history documentation

Non-DOT Drivers still benefit from structured recordkeeping that reduces risk and supports insurance compliance:

  • License and ID verification
  • Internal safety documentation
  • Pre-employment background checks
  • Driver history and incident records

DQM Connect® provides end-to-end driver qualification file software for every driver—regulated or not.
