Construction & Vocational Fleets
Dump trucks, mixers, water trucks, lowboys, pickups — running under DOT and FMCSA rules your maintenance software pretends don’t exist. Dockex runs the maintenance and the regulated half. One system.

The 9 PM problem
You didn’t set out to run a trucking company. The plates say you do.
Fleetio and the rest are good at one thing: tracking the iron. Service intervals, work orders, parts, fault codes. That’s real, and you need it. But open their construction page and read it closely — it never says DOT. Never says CDL, FMCSA, IRP, IFTA, 2290, or DQ file. To a maintenance platform, your dump fleet is a pile of assets that wear out. That framing quietly leaves out the half that gets you fined.
Here’s the thing nobody put on a sales call: a contractor running dump trucks is a regulated motor carrier. The same federal rules that govern an over-the-road carrier govern your yard. Driver qualification files. Drug-and-alcohol testing. Hours of service. Annual inspections. Heavy vehicle use tax. The maintenance software ignores all of it, so you end up running two systems — the software for the iron, and a binder, a spreadsheet, and a tag agency for the part that actually gets audited.
Dockex does both. The maintenance — service-due tracking, work orders, parts, inspections, fault codes from a connected telematics provider — and the regulated half — DOT applicability, DQ files, D&A result tracking, IRP/IFTA, 2290, UCR, FMCSA CSA scores — in one system. Keep what you use for the iron if you want. Dockex runs the regulated half. Or run the whole thing here.
The rules aren’t a judgment call — they’re thresholds, and most contractors are already over them without knowing it.
Most contractors don’t realize they’re motor carriers until an audit asks for paperwork they never built. Two minutes settles it: Am I DOT-regulated? walks your fleet through the thresholds, and the CSA score lookup pulls your safety record straight from FMCSA.
A new-entrant or compliance review is a checklist. Here’s the list, and where each item lives in Dockex.
Maintenance
Service-due tracking by mileage and time, work orders, parts, tires, and warranties. Connect Samsara, Motive, or Geotab and fault codes flow in and open work orders automatically. NHTSA recalls auto-check by VIN. The maintenance side runs nationwide, no Oklahoma required.
Works on any phone · English & Spanish
The regulated half
A §391.51 DQ file per driver with audit-packet export. DOT pre-trip eDVIR from any phone. Drug-and-alcohol result tracking plus the §382.403 annual MIS report — bring your own consortium, Dockex tracks the results. Your seven FMCSA CSA BASIC scores pull daily and alert when one crosses the intervention threshold.

I’d rather tell you exactly what this does than sell you a promise that breaks on your fleet. So, plainly:
Maintenance is by mileage and time. Service intervals run on odometer miles and calendar days. Not engine hours — that’s the metric a lot of vocational shops want, and it’s not how the scheduling works today.
Live GPS and HOS need a connected telematics provider. Connect Samsara or Motive for the live map plus hours of service. Geotab gives you the live GPS map. Dockex isn’t a native GPS or ELD device — it’s the system the device feeds.
2290 and UCR you file in-app, anywhere. Enter the data, pay the fee in-app, Dockex files it for you. That’s nationwide.
IRP and IFTA are tracked nationwide; the done-for-you filing is Oklahoma-only. Everywhere, Dockex tracks your apportioned miles and builds the return. In Oklahoma, we file it for you. Outside Oklahoma, you get the calculation and the paperwork, ready to submit.
Drug-and-alcohol: result tracking and the annual MIS, not your TPA. Dockex tracks every test result and generates your §382.403 MIS report. It is not your consortium or third-party administrator — bring the one you have.
Keep what you use for the iron. Dockex runs the regulated half.
The gap
Fleetio runs the iron. Dockex runs the iron and the audit.
