49 CFR 391 · 382 · FCRA

Driver qualification files that keep themselves current.

DQFile.ai runs the whole DQ file for you. Drivers apply from their phone in about ten minutes. AI reads every document and orders every check, then watches every date. The file is complete before an auditor ever asks for it.

October 11, 2026: the temporary FMCSA exemption that lets CDL drivers use a paper medical-card copy ends. After that, the medical status on the state driving record is what counts. DQFile checks it for you. 91 FR 19255 · FMCSA-2026-0265

From application to audit, without the paperwork

Every step is automated. Steps the law or a government system keeps manual are labelled as manual, and we guide your driver through them.

1

Apply in ten minutes

Send a link or a QR code. The driver photographs their CDL and the form fills itself. "None" is one tap, and the date math is automatic. English and Spanish.

2

Checks order themselves

MVRs from every state, PSP, previous-employer safety history, the Clearinghouse query and the pre-employment drug test all start the moment the application is signed.

3

AI reads every document

Dates are applied only when independent readings agree. A disagreement goes to a person, never a guess. Results are recorded as well as dates: a bad MVR is not "done".

4

Always audit-ready

Expiries are chased before they lapse, and the annual MVR and review are scheduled. A one-click audit pack is ready for each driver or the whole fleet.

Everything the file needs. Nothing it doesn't.

The application asks exactly what 49 CFR 391.21 requires, plus anything extra your company chooses to add. Each consent the law requires to stand alone gets its own screen.

  • Employment application with 3- and 10-year history and automatic gap detection
  • Stand-alone FCRA disclosure, PSP authorization, and state add-ons
  • One specific drug and alcohol release per previous DOT employer
  • MVR inquiries, annual review, road test certificate
  • Medical certificate and National Registry verification
  • Retention rules applied automatically: employment plus 3 years

"A compliance item stores its result, not only that it happened."

A failed test or a bad driving record is not compliance. DQFile knows the difference.

Random testing you can prove was random

Your random pool is kept in sync with your driver files and meets the 50% drug and 10% alcohol minimum rates. Test days are spread across the year, and selections go out unannounced.

Every draw is sealed before it happens and mixed with a public randomness beacon. Afterwards, anyone can recompute it: an auditor, an insurer, or you. Nobody can steer who gets picked, and that includes us.

Testing itself is done by your collection-site and C/TPA partners. DQFile runs the program and keeps the records.

Run by AI, under human oversight

Automated end to end

AI agents take intake, reading, ordering, follow-ups and reminders from start to finish. You handle the decisions only a carrier can make.

Honest about limits

Some steps depend on government systems or your driver's own action, like the Clearinghouse consent. When a step is waiting on someone, DQFile says so. It never shows a green check it hasn't earned.

Private by design

Social Security numbers, license data and medical status are encrypted and only ever shown partially. The application goes through the app, never a group chat.
