Safety Scientist Services
CDL Manager
Compliance,
systematized.
The software and the people for fleets that need compliance running in the background — not on top of the pile. DQ files, medical cards, MVRs, PSPs, document tracking, driver risk scoring, FMCSA Portal integration. Your full safety department without the headcount.
Software plus safety team
Not software alone — a real team behind the platform.
DQ files end to end
Medical cards, MVRs, PSPs, expirations, FMCSA Portal integration.
Driver Prioritize™ AI
Risk scoring flags the drivers most likely to cost you.
Scales to several hundred trucks
Same platform from one truck to a 500-truck fleet.
What It Is
Compliance fails in
the boring places.
Nobody loses their authority because of a dramatic mistake. They lose it because somebody's medical card expired and nobody caught it. A DQ file was missing a document. An MVR didn't get pulled this year. The MCS-150 didn't get updated. The drug testing pool wasn't random enough. CDL Manager runs all of that in the background — automated where automation works, with a safety team behind it where it doesn't. The boring places get covered, on autopilot.

Software built for fleet compliance
Cloud-based dashboard, automated expiration alerts, centralized driver and vehicle files, FMCSA Portal integration, color-coded status at a glance.
AI-powered risk scoring
Our Driver Prioritize™ algorithm flags the drivers most likely to cost you — violation, crash, or CSA hit — before it happens. Targeted training goes where it matters.
A real safety team behind the software
Certified safety directors, former FMCSA auditors, DOT specialists. Software runs the boring stuff. The humans handle the hard stuff.
What We Do
Features and services.
DQ file management
Every file, every document, ongoing — driver qualification compliance handled the way 49 CFR 391 requires.
Automated expiration alerts
Licenses, medical cards, inspections, training. Nobody's running on an expired anything.
MVR and PSP monitoring
Pulled, reviewed, flagged, stored — with medical card tracking, the most common source of compliance failure, handled.
FMCSA Portal integration
Seamless data sync so the government record matches yours — fewer mismatches that trigger audits.
Driver Prioritize™ risk scoring
AI-powered ranking across your fleet so training and intervention go where they reduce incidents.
24/7 support & audit prep
Real people for you and your drivers. Audit-ready files every day, not just when an auditor calls.
Driver Prioritize™
Find the 10% of your drivers causing 80% of your CSA problem.
Most fleets don't have a driver problem. They have *three drivers* causing most of the violations, crashes, and CSA hits — and they don't know which three. Driver Prioritize™ scores every driver in your fleet across MVR history, inspection record, CSA contribution, and training completion. It tells you who to retrain, who to coach, and who to move. Training dollars stop landing on the wrong drivers.
What You Actually Get
A compliance program that runs itself.
Audit-ready files, every day, without scrambling
When the auditor calls, you don't pull an all-nighter. The files have been audit-ready the whole time.
Expirations caught weeks early, not hours late
Medical cards, licenses, MVRs, inspections — flagged before they become violations, not after.
CSA scores that reflect a well-run operation
Clean files mean clean inspections. Clean inspections mean a CSA score that doesn't lock you out of broker loads.
Risk-based driver training that reduces incidents
Driver Prioritize™ tells you who needs the training. You stop spending training dollars on the wrong drivers.
Hours of admin work per week, gone
The work that used to live in someone's inbox now lives in the dashboard. Your safety person manages exceptions, not spreadsheets.

Frequently Asked
Common questions about fleet compliance management.
What is CDL Manager?
CDL Manager is a full safety department with proprietary software. The platform handles driver qualification files, medical card tracking, MVR and PSP monitoring, vehicle inspection records, Clearinghouse queries, and FMCSA Portal integration. The people behind it are Certified Directors of Safety and former FMCSA auditors.
How does CDL Manager compare to hiring a safety director in-house?
A full-time safety director with C.D.S. credentials typically costs six figures plus benefits, and the work still requires software to track. CDL Manager gives you the software and the team together, on subscription. For most small and mid-size fleets, it's the difference between having real compliance support and not having it.
What is Driver Prioritize?
Driver Prioritize™ is our AI-powered risk-scoring engine. It analyzes each driver's MVR history, CSA contribution, inspection record, and training completion to flag who's most likely to generate a violation, crash, or CSA hit next. You spend training dollars where they'll actually reduce risk.
Do you handle DQ files end to end?
Yes. Driver Qualification File management is the core of the platform — every document required under 49 CFR 391, stored, tracked, and renewed before it expires. Application, MVR, PSP, medical certificate, road test, employment history, drug and alcohol pre-employment, annual MVR review, annual review of driving record — all of it.
Does CDL Manager integrate with the FMCSA Portal?
Yes. Portal integration keeps your federal record and your internal record in sync — MCS-150 updates, Clearinghouse queries, CSA data, inspection history. Less manual entry, fewer mismatches that trigger audits.
How is pricing structured?
Subscription, tiered by fleet size. Small fleets get the full feature set at an accessible rate; larger fleets get volume pricing plus dedicated account support. Demo calls are free — we price your fleet after we understand the scope.
Can CDL Manager help us prepare for a DOT audit?
Yes. Audit preparation is built into the platform — your file status is audit-ready every day, not just when an auditor calls. For carriers that want hands-on audit support in addition to the software, the CDL 360 audit-prep service integrates directly.
