Samsara tracks driver qualifications inside a telematics platform.
GoExpirely is just the expiration alerts.
If your trucks already run on Samsara, its Qualifications Management may cover you. If you don't need gateways, cameras or GPS and just want to know before a document expires, GoExpirely does that, with a public price and a 15-day trial.
Fleet platform: telematics + compliance
Samsara combines GPS, ELD and hours of service, dashcams and vehicle diagnostics with Qualifications Management for licenses, endorsements, permits and compliance documents, including expiration alerts.
Best for: fleets that want telematics and driver compliance in one platform.
Expiration alerts, nothing else
GoExpirely tracks the expiration dates of driver and vehicle documents (CDLs, DOT medical certificates, MVRs, annual inspections, insurance) and emails you 30, 15, 7 and 1 day before each one, and on the day it expires.
Best for: small fleets that don't need telematics and want a public price with no sales call.

Yes. Samsara Qualifications Management stores driver licenses, endorsements, registrations, permits and other compliance documents, sends automatic expiration alerts to admins and drivers, and can alert you if an unqualified driver starts operating a vehicle. It works inside the Samsara platform, next to HOS and safety data.
Samsara is an ELD and telematics platform: it logs drive time, flags HOS violations and connects that data with safety scores and qualifications. GoExpirely doesn't do ELD or HOS at all; it only tracks document expiration dates.
When you don't need telematics hardware and your problem is expired documents: CDLs, medical cards, MVRs, permits, insurance. GoExpirely costs $79/month for up to 25 drivers and vehicles, with a 15-day trial and no card. If you already run Samsara, check Qualifications Management first.
GoExpirely is $79/month for up to 25 drivers and vehicles, or $149/month for up to 100. Samsara doesn't publish prices on its website; its pricing page asks how many vehicles you have.
