FleetCache is a compliance and credential management app built for trucking. If you're tired of expiring licenses, missed medical cards, and document chaos — this app keeps your fleet road-ready. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Track every credential — CDL, medical card, DOT inspection, IFTA, registration, insurance, and any custom doc you add yourself • See every expiration at a glance — color-coded status (valid, expiring, expired) across drivers, trucks, trailers, and equipment • Get push alerts before docs expire — pick exactly which alerts you want with per-category controls • Snap a photo or upload a PDF — credentials live with your asset, not in a glove-box folder • Manage your team — invite drivers and managers, set roles, assign equipment • Driver self-service — drivers see their own expiring docs and can upload renewals from their phone • Plan-friendly pricing — start free with up to 5 assets; upgrade only when you grow DESIGNED FOR HOW YOU ACTUALLY WORK FleetCache groups your fleet the way you do. Driver groups, equipment groups, custom templates per group — so a "Hot Shot Drivers" requirement set looks different from "Local Box Trucks." Every credential lives on the right asset, with the right reminder cadence. ROLES AND PERMISSIONS • Admins manage billing, members, and company-wide settings • Managers handle drivers, units, and credentials • Drivers see their own assignments and docs The right people see the right data. RLS-tight access at the database layer — not just in the UI. PRIVACY-FIRST We collect what we need to track your compliance and nothing more. License imagery is encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell or share your data. Read our privacy policy at fleetcache.com/privacy. PRICING Start free with up to 5 assets. Paid plans scale by fleet size — manage subscriptions from your account at fleetcache.com. QUESTIONS We answer email. Reach support at support@fleetcache.com.
