Stop Losing Sleep Over DQ Files. Get Audit-Ready Automatically.
A simpler way to manage driver qualification files — without spreadsheets, paper folders, or last-minute audit panic.
Missing DQ files are the #1 violation type — 20% of all DOT audit findings.
Built for small and mid-size carriers (10–500 drivers).
DOT audits don't fail you for big things.
They fail you for missing paperwork.
- One missing or expired document can trigger a $1,100–$16,000 fine per violation
- Driver qualification files scattered across email and Google Drive
- Medical cards expire quietly — damaging your CSA score before you notice
- Annual reviews get missed, stacking violations at audit time
- The 2026 CDLIS MVR requirement adds a new document to track for every CDL driver
- Auditors want answers now — not excuses
Compliance isn't hard — it's relentless. And the penalties are real.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required in a DQ file?
Under 49 CFR 391.51, a driver qualification file must contain: the driver's employment application, motor vehicle record (MVR), road test certificate or equivalent, medical examiner's certificate, annual review of driving record, annual driver certification of violations, and pre-employment inquiries. DQVisor tracks all of these automatically.
How does DQVisor handle the 2026 medical certification changes?
Starting in 2026, FMCSA requires carriers to verify CDL driver medical certification through the CDLIS (Commercial Driver's License Information System) MVR. DQVisor is built to track this new requirement alongside existing DQ file documents, so you won't be caught off guard.
What size fleet does DQVisor work for?
DQVisor is built for small and mid-size carriers with 10 to 500 drivers. Most DQ file software is designed for mega-fleets and priced accordingly. DQVisor gives you enterprise-grade compliance tracking at a price that makes sense for your fleet.
How is DQVisor different from Tenstreet or J.J. Keller?
Tenstreet is a recruiting platform with compliance bolted on. J.J. Keller offers broad EHS tools. DQVisor focuses exclusively on driver qualification files — the documents FMCSA auditors actually check. That means less complexity, faster setup, and nothing you don't need.
How long does setup take?
Most carriers are up and running within a day. You can import your existing driver list and start tracking documents immediately. No lengthy onboarding process or training sessions required.
Is my data secure?
Yes. DQVisor uses encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and secure cloud infrastructure. Your driver data and documents are protected to the same standards used by financial institutions.
