Fleet Maintenance & DOT Compliance for Trucking Companies
Electronic DVIRs, Hours of Service tracking, and preventive maintenance scheduling — built for fleets where DOT compliance is not optional and a missed PM can take a truck off the road.
Free up to 5 equipment. No credit card required.
Challenges trucking companies face
If you manage a commercial fleet, these problems are probably costing you money and putting your operating authority at risk.
DOT violations that hurt your CSA score
Failed inspections, missing DVIRs, and HOS violations each damage your safety rating and risk your operating authority. NovaGear's built-in DOT tools prevent violations before they happen — electronic DVIRs are always on file, HOS is monitored in real time, and defects automatically trigger repair work orders.
Pre-trip and post-trip inspections done on paper
Paper DVIRs get lost, are illegible, or get skipped entirely. If an officer asks for the last 7 days of DVIRs, your driver needs to produce them on the spot. Electronic DVIRs stored in NovaGear are always accessible — from the driver's phone, from dispatch, or from a DOT audit request.
HOS violations and fatigue management
Tracking Hours of Service manually is error-prone and leaves you exposed. NovaGear monitors duty logs, flags potential violations before they happen, and gives drivers real-time visibility into their remaining available hours so they can plan stops without guessing.
Missed preventive maintenance
Oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations slip past their due dates because nobody is tracking mileage across the whole fleet in one place. NovaGear tracks meter readings on every truck and sends automatic reminders before maintenance is due — whether that interval is mileage, engine hours, or calendar days.
No visibility when trucks are on the road
Managers need to know the status of every truck without calling every driver. When a driver reports a problem, it should immediately create a work order rather than getting lost in a text message. NovaGear issue reporting flows directly into the shop's repair queue the moment a driver submits it.
Repair history scattered everywhere
When a truck goes down, finding the service history to diagnose the problem takes hours of calling shops and digging through folders. Every repair, inspection, and parts replacement logged in NovaGear stays on the truck's profile permanently — searchable and available from any device.
Features trucking companies use most
DOT Compliance
Electronic DVIRs for pre-trip and post-trip inspections. HOS monitoring and duty logs. Law enforcement display mode for roadside inspections. Defects automatically create work orders.
Preventive Maintenance
Mileage-based service plans with automatic reminders. Templates for oil changes, brake inspections, and tire rotations. Tracks every meter reading to trigger maintenance at the right interval.
Equipment Registry
Full truck and trailer profiles: VIN, specs, registration, insurance, and complete service history. Separate records for tractors and trailers. Scan asset tags for instant lookups.
Work Orders
Assign repair jobs to mechanics with parts and labor tracking. Mechanics clock in and out of jobs from their phone. Managers see real-time status on every open work order across the fleet.
Issue Reporting
Drivers flag equipment problems from the road and managers see them instantly. Issues are timestamped, attached to the vehicle record, and flow directly into the shop's repair queue.
Offline PWA
Works without cell service in dead zones on remote routes. Drivers complete DVIRs and log duty status offline. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity is restored.
How it works for your fleet
Every role on your team gets the right tools without the complexity they do not need.
Drivers
Complete pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs on their phone before and after every run. Update duty status throughout the day. Report equipment issues from the road without calling dispatch. All of it works offline in dead zones along the route.
Shop Mechanics
Work through the repair and PM queue in priority order. Clock in and out of jobs to track labor time accurately. Log parts pulled from inventory. Service records are completed and attached to the truck automatically when work is closed out.
Fleet Managers
DOT compliance dashboard shows DVIR completion rates and HOS status across the entire fleet. Upcoming maintenance overview prevents missed PMs. Cost-per-truck reporting surfaces which units are costing more than they should.
Trucking FAQ
No. NovaGear is a maintenance and compliance management platform, not an ELD. It handles DVIRs, maintenance records, and HOS monitoring but does not replace a certified Electronic Logging Device for fleets that require one under FMCSA mandate. Use NovaGear alongside your ELD to manage the full compliance and maintenance picture.
Yes. Every unit gets its own profile with separate service history, DOT status, and maintenance schedules. Tractors and trailers are tracked independently so you know the condition and compliance status of each unit regardless of how they are paired.
Drivers open NovaGear on their phone, select their truck, and complete the pre-trip or post-trip inspection checklist. Any defect noted is flagged immediately and automatically creates a work order for the shop. DVIRs are stored with a timestamp and are retrievable for DOT inspections or audit requests.
It is $5 per commercial vehicle per month — tractors, trailers, and any other fleet assets. Unlimited drivers, dispatchers, and shop staff. Every feature including full DOT compliance tools is included at that price. Free up to 5 trucks to get started with no credit card required.
