What does building a DOT Compliance app include?

Every engagement includes discovery, data architecture, UI/UX design, development, QA, and post-launch support — not just a build-and-handoff.

Discovery & Architecture

Requirements mapping, data modeling, integration planning, and platform-fit assessment before a single screen is built.

UI/UX Design

Wireframes and interactive prototypes designed for your users — not generic templates. Optimized for mobile and desktop.

Development & QA

Built by certified Glide experts with enterprise experience. Rigorous testing across devices, roles, and data volumes.

Launch & Support

User training, documentation, and ongoing maintenance. We don't disappear after deployment.

Key features of your DOT Compliance app

Driver Qualification File Management

Maintain complete DQ files for every driver — CDL, medical card, application, annual review, and MVR. Receive alerts when any DQ file component is due for renewal or is missing.

Drug & Alcohol Testing Compliance

Track pre-employment, random, post-accident, and reasonable suspicion drug and alcohol test records. Maintain consortium enrollment documentation and random pool records.

Vehicle Inspection & Maintenance Records

Store annual inspection certificates, DVIR records, and out-of-service repair documentation per vehicle. Ensure every vehicle has a current annual inspection before dispatch.

FMCSA Audit Preparation

Run compliance audits against FMCSA safety management controls before an official audit. Identify missing documents and out-of-compliance records in time to correct them.

Who uses a DOT Compliance app?

+A carrier with 150 drivers uses a Glide DOT compliance app to track all DQ file components — passing their next FMCSA compliance review with zero driver file deficiencies.

+A safety director uses the drug testing tracker to verify 100% of required random tests were conducted and documented — avoiding an FMCSA civil penalty.

+A fleet manager runs a pre-audit compliance check 60 days before their scheduled review — resolving 11 expired medical cards before the FMCSA auditor arrives.

How much does a DOT Compliance app cost?

Projects start at $15,000 for internal business apps. Most clients invest $40,000–$80,000 annually across development, iteration, and support.

Project Type	Timeline	Starting At
Internal Business App	4–6 weeks	$15,000
Client-Facing Portal	4–6 weeks	$20,000
Enterprise Platform	6–8 weeks	$40,000
Multi-App Architecture	8–12 weeks	$50,000+

Frequently asked questions about DOT Compliance apps

Does the app track FMCSA-required DQ file documents?+

Yes. The app tracks all FMCSA Part 391 required DQ file documents — application, road test, CDL, medical examiner certificate, annual review, and MVR.

How does the app handle random drug testing selection?+

GlideApps Agency can configure randomized driver selection pools that meet FMCSA random testing rate requirements — with selection records maintained for audit purposes.

Can the app integrate with drug testing clearinghouse?+

Yes. GlideApps Agency can integrate with the FMCSA Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse API to automate pre-employment and annual query requirements.

Does the app support non-CDL exempt carrier compliance?+

Yes. Non-CDL operations face different compliance requirements. GlideApps Agency configures the app for your specific exemption status and applicable FMCSA rules.

How quickly can a DOT compliance app be deployed?+

GlideApps Agency typically delivers DOT compliance apps in 6–10 weeks. We include existing driver file data migration as part of the implementation.
