Managing AI-Powered Driver Qualification Documents

The AI-powered Driver Qualification Document Upload feature makes it easier for fleets and drivers to submit, review, and manage Driver Qualification documents in the Motive Driver App and Fleet Dashboard. AI DQ documents help streamline onboarding and compliance while reducing manual work for drivers and fleet managers.

Overview

  • Fleets and drivers can now upload driver qualification documents more efficiently with AI-supported document information extraction. Information from uploaded documents is automatically extracted and associated to a driver, minimizing manual entry.
  • The following Driver Qualification (DQ) documents are supported for AI-powered document upload:
    • Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) (fleet user upload only)
    • Medical Examiner’s Certificate
    • Employment Application
    • Employment Verification
    • Inquiry to Previous Employers
    • Pre-Employment Drug & Alcohol Test Results
    • Road Test Certificate
    • Driver License 
  • Fleets have control over what documents drivers can upload and whether approval is required prior to saving to a driver’s qualification file:
    • Administrative setting: Driver-initiated document upload
    • Administrative setting: Require fleet user approval before saving AI-processed documents to driver file
    • Template setting: visibility in the Driver App

Fleet Dashboard Uploads 

Fleet users with the permission to “Manage qualifications” can upload DQ documents using AI through the Motive Fleet Dashboard.

  1. Open the Qualifications > Add document.


     

  2. From the list of options, select the qualification document. Documents that can be uploaded with AI are indicated with a star.
  3. Click Upload to add the document. Once uploaded, click Process.
Note: For best results, ensure files and images are clearly legible. Documents that are handwritten or rotated may process with lower accuracy.


  1. The system will extract the data from the document and the template fields will be populated. The platform automatically assigns the document to an existing driver account. If no exact match is found, the Driver dropdown displays AI-powered suggestions of possible matches.
Note: Template fields may not be populated if the AI has a low confidence in the accuracy of the output or the information is not available in the document.
  1. Review and verify the details, then click Save. The document will be added to the driver file for the selected driver.
     

Driver App Uploads

Drivers can upload documents through the Motive Driver App and AI will extract the key information to create DQ documents in Motive. Motive provides configurable settings that allow fleets to control which DQ documents drivers may upload through the Driver App and whether fleet user review is required.

Administrative Settings

Workforce Administrative settings control the following:

  • Driver-initiated document upload: If the box is checked to allow, Drivers may upload qualification documents via the Motive Driver App.
  • Require fleet user approval before saving AI-processed documents to driver file: If the box is checked, all driver-uploaded documents will require fleet user approval to allow fleets to ensure accuracy and compliance before being added to the Driver Qualification (DQ) file.

     

Template Settings

If fleets allow for driver-initiated document uploads, they can still control which documents may be uploaded by drivers or groups through template visibility settings. Please review Document Template Visibility in the Driver App.

  1. Once submitted, the document is in a Pending review or Processing state until it is saved to the Driver Qualification file.
     

Driver Qualification Documents with Needs Review status

Documents receive the “Needs Review” status for two reasons: 1) a required field from a driver-uploaded document was not able to be extracted with AI and must be entered manually by a fleet user, and/or 2) the fleet has enabled the admin setting that requires fleet user approval before saving AI processed documents to the driver file. Documents with the “Needs Review" status will not be available to the Driver until they are edited or approved. 

To edit a document that Needs Review

  1. Open the Qualifications tab.
  2. From the list, select Driver License with the status Needs Review.

To approve or reject a document that Needs Review

 Re-uploading a Rejected DQ Document in the Driver App

FAQs

Can AI be used to extract information for customized document templates?

No. AI can only be used to extract information for the default templates created by Motive. Motive templates that are duplicated and edited will also no longer be eligible for AI information extraction.
