Never Miss a Trucking Compliance Deadline Again
Running a trucking business means tracking a dozen different compliance deadlines — UCR, IFTA, IRP, insurance, CDL, medical card, MCS-150, BOC-3, drug testing, annual inspections — all with different frequencies and different due dates. According to FMCSA, over 11,000 carriers had their authority revoked in 2024 due to compliance failures, many of which were simply missed deadlines. A single missed insurance renewal can shut down your entire operation overnight. TRU LOAD’s smart compliance calendar tracks everything with 60/30/7/1 day alerts so you never get caught off guard.

Enter your MC or DOT number during setup. TRU LOAD pulls your authority data from FMCSA SAFER and auto-populates known compliance items including UCR status, insurance on file, and MCS-150 due date.
Smart Alert Sequence
Every deadline gets 4 alerts: 60 days (plan ahead), 30 days (take action), 7 days (urgent), and 1 day (final warning). Alerts come via push notification, SMS, and email. Critical items also trigger voice reminders.

How does TRU LOAD know my compliance deadlines?+
During onboarding, TRU LOAD pulls your authority information from FMCSA's SAFER database using your MC or DOT number. It also asks you to input key dates like insurance renewal, CDL expiration, and medical card expiration. From there, it calculates all deadlines and sets up automatic alerts.
What type of alerts do I receive?+
TRU LOAD sends alerts at 60, 30, 7, and 1 day(s) before each deadline via push notification, SMS, and email. You can customize which channels you receive and adjust the alert timing. Critical deadlines (insurance, CDL) also trigger voice reminders through the TRU LOAD app.
Can I add custom compliance items?+
Yes. Beyond the standard trucking compliance items, you can add custom deadlines for things like trailer registrations, permits, lease agreements, or any recurring date you need to track. Each custom item gets the same 60/30/7/1 day alert sequence.
Does it work for fleets with multiple drivers and vehicles?+
Yes. Fleet managers on the Pro ($99/mo) and Business ($149/mo) plans can track compliance for all drivers and vehicles in their fleet from a single dashboard. Each driver and vehicle has its own compliance profile with independent alert schedules.
