Fleet Complete alternative
They hand you the report.
In Oklahoma, we file the return.
Fleet Complete captures your miles and your fuel receipts, then tells you — in their own words — that you now have everything you need to file your IFTA reports. For Oklahoma carriers, Dockex files them — plus IRP and registration. Everywhere else the return comes ready to file, and we'll file your 2290 and UCR anywhere.
Every claim below is from Fleet Complete's own pages and contract. No reviewer quotes, no third-party pricing.
Mid-contract?
Keep the ELD. Add the filing layer.
Their default term is 36 months and leaving early makes every remaining month due, so if you're mid-term you may be stuck for a while. You don't have to wait. Dockex runs alongside whatever you're on — it doesn't pull data from Fleet Complete — and takes the paperwork off your desk today.
- Runs alongside — no hardware swap, no ELD migration
- DQ files, Clearinghouse timers, D&A results and the MIS report
- 2290, UCR and MCS-150 filed for you nationwide; IRP, IFTA and registration filed in Oklahoma
The seven things Fleet Complete won't do
Four compliance pillars. None of them file anything.
Their compliance page names exactly four: ELD, IFTA reporting, DVIR inspections, CSA scores. Useful work. Every item below sits outside it, and every one ends with a form somebody has to submit to an agency.
- IFTA quarterly return filing0
- IRP apportioned filing0
- Form 2290 (HVUT) filing0
- UCR + MCS-150 filing0
- State registration and title work0
- Driver qualification file management0
- FMCSA Clearinghouse queries and drug & alcohol result tracking0
Dockex is that column — $349/mo flat for the platform, plus a flat per-service fee only when we file, or $0 if you file the federal returns yourself. Keep your existing consortium; we track every result and generate the annual MIS report.
What actually goes wrong
Four things their own site and contract say.
Each one is sourced to Fleet Complete's own site or their Master Subscription Service Terms, linked in the footer below.
Pain
Dockex answer
The IFTA return is still yours to file
Fleet Complete's own words: “so you have everything you need to easily file your IFTA reports”
That sentence is the whole difference. They capture the distance and the fuel receipts, then hand you a report. Dockex prepares the return everywhere and files it for you in Oklahoma under an authorization you sign — or you file it yourself for $0 and we just do the math.
The bill goes up on its own
MSA: recurring fees “will automatically increase by an amount of five percent (5%) for each year of previous Initial Contract Term” on renewal
On a 36-month term that is a 15% step the day it renews, before the separate once-a-year increase their terms also reserve. Dockex is $99, $349 or $799 flat, month to month, and the number doesn't move because a term rolled over.
Leaving costs the rest of the contract
MSA: early termination makes the recurring fees for every remaining month of the term immediately due
Plus the bundled hardware goes back — their terms keep ownership and require you to make the vehicles available for removal. Dockex has no hardware and no term: cancel from the billing page and your data exports to CSV on request.
Nothing tracks the driver paperwork
Zero occurrences of DQ file, credential, medical card or expiration tracking across all 25 product and solution pages
Their compliance page has exactly four pillars: ELD, IFTA reporting, DVIR, CSA. There is no fifth for driver files. Dockex runs the DQ file, the Clearinghouse query timers, the drug & alcohol results and the annual MIS report.

Questions
Questions worth asking before you switch
Does Fleet Complete file my IFTA return?+
No, and they say so themselves. Their Hours of Service page reads “Empower drivers with fuel receipt entries into the BigRoad ELD app, so you have everything you need to easily file your IFTA reports” — second person, you file. Their compliance page describes the same split: they capture the distance and fuel data, “supporting motor carriers when submitting quarterly IFTA distance reports.” Dockex prepares the return everywhere and files it for you in Oklahoma.
What does Fleet Complete cost?+
They don't publish it. Their subscription page lists five packages — Basic Compliance, Fleet Insights, VisionAI Hub Insights, Insights Solution Suite, Asset Insights — and every one says “Contact Us” instead of a number. Their own FAQ asks how much the subscription costs and answers by pointing you at sales. Dockex publishes $99, $349 and $799 on the pricing page, and the per-service filing fees underneath them.
How long is a Fleet Complete contract?+
Their Master Subscription Service Terms set 36 months as the default where the Order Form doesn't state one, then auto-renew for successive one-year terms unless you give written notice at least 60 days before the end. Read your own Order Form — the 36 months is the fallback, not a universal term. Dockex is month to month with no renewal notice to remember.
Is it true the price goes up automatically?+
That's what their terms say. On an automatic renewal the recurring fees “will automatically increase by an amount of five percent (5%) for each year of previous Initial Contract Term.” Separately, once per year during the term they reserve the right to raise fees or add new ones on 30 days' written notice. Both are in the MSA, not in a reviewer's account.
Can I keep Fleet Complete and add Dockex?+
Yes, and that's usually the right move mid-term. Dockex doesn't replace an ELD — we read Samsara, Motive or Geotab in telematics-only mode and layer the compliance and filing work on top. Dockex doesn't connect to Fleet Complete today, so if it's your ELD you keep running it and use Dockex for the DQ files, the Clearinghouse timers, the drug & alcohol tracking, and the filings nobody else submits.
Is Fleet Complete the same company as Powerfleet?+
Same product, new parent. Powerfleet acquired Fleet Complete in October 2024 and the site now brands itself “Powerfleet (formerly Fleet Complete)” throughout — though the footer still reads © Fleet Complete and the contract you sign still names Fleet Complete. If you're comparing quotes, make sure you're comparing the same entity.
