GoExpirely vs Fleetio FAQ
Does Fleetio track CDL expirations?
Fleetio is a fleet maintenance management platform focused on vehicle servicing, work orders, parts, and fuel. CDL expiration tracking and DOT medical certificate management are not Fleetio core features. GoExpirely is purpose-built for FMCSA driver document compliance.
Can GoExpirely replace Fleetio?
No — they solve entirely different problems. Fleetio manages vehicle maintenance: oil changes, tire rotations, work orders, and parts inventory. GoExpirely manages driver document compliance: CDL renewals, DOT medical certificates, DQF requirements, and FMCSA audit preparation. Many fleets use both.
Is GoExpirely cheaper than Fleetio?
GoExpirely charges $79/month flat for up to 25 drivers and trucks with no per-vehicle fees. Fleetio charges per vehicle per month. The comparison depends on fleet size and which compliance gaps each tool fills for your operation.
What does Fleetio not cover that GoExpirely does?
Fleetio focuses on vehicle maintenance — not driver compliance. GoExpirely covers CDL expirations, DOT medical certificates (Form MCSA-5876), MVR annual checks, Drug & Alcohol Clearinghouse records, and the full Driver Qualification File required under 49 CFR Part 391. These are driver-level FMCSA requirements Fleetio was not built for.
Can I use both Fleetio and GoExpirely together?
Yes, and many fleets do. Fleetio tracks your trucks' mechanical health — services, repairs, parts. GoExpirely tracks your drivers' compliance documents — licenses, medical cards, DQF records. Together they cover both the vehicle side and the driver side of FMCSA compliance.
