Half of trucking companies fail in 18 months. Paperwork is why.

FleetDesk puts dispatch, compliance, maintenance, and billing in one system so you can run trucks instead of chasing documents.

50%

of trucking businesses fail within 18 months

THE PROBLEM

Compliance-driven cash flow death.

50% of trucking businesses fail within 18 months. 5,000-8,000 companies exited in 2025. The killer isn't fuel. It's the administrative avalanche. DOT requires Driver Qualification Files (life + 3 years), HOS records (6 months), maintenance records (14 months), drug/alcohol records (2-5 years). Miss a record, fail an audit, lose operating authority.

THE SOLUTION

FleetDesk

Unified operations hub for small-to-mid fleets connecting dispatch, compliance, maintenance, and billing.

•Dispatch board (drag-and-drop, driver availability, status updates)

•DOT compliance vault (digital DQ files, expiration alerts, audit-ready)

•Maintenance scheduler (preventive schedules, service history, cost-per-mile)

•Load documentation (digital BOL, POD upload, rate confirmations)

•Invoicing & receivables (from completed loads, aging reports, auto-reminders)

•Driver management (profiles, certifications, pay calculation, settlements)

•IFTA fuel tax reporting (mileage-by-state, fuel logging, quarterly reports)

•Compliance dashboard (expiring docs, overdue maintenance, red/yellow/green)

How we compare

Samsara locks you into 3-year contracts with $9K+ upfront. Free tools like AscendTMS lack compliance and billing. We deliver unified dispatch, compliance, maintenance, and billing for 5-50 truck fleets without hardware lock-in or enterprise complexity.

The DOT doesn't care that you're a great driver. They care that your Driver Qualification Files are complete, your maintenance records are current, and your HOS logs are accessible. Miss one document, and you're not just fined. You can lose your operating authority. FleetDesk keeps every document current, every maintenance schedule tracked, every load invoiced, and every audit answered before it's asked.
