The compliance-first alternative to TruckingOffice — driver files & FMCSA, not just dispatch.
TruckingOffice bundles dispatch, invoicing, IFTA, and even a built-in ELD at a low entry price. If what you actually need handled is DOT compliance — driver qualification files, CDL and medical deadlines, FMCSA safety — Fleetive is built for that, with a driver self-serve portal and settlements on flat, capacity-based pricing.

TruckingOffice runs dispatch & logs. Fleetive runs compliance & drivers.
An honest look at TruckingOffice vs. Fleetive for an owner-operator or small carrier.
Credit where it’s due: TruckingOffice is affordable for an owner-operator and includes a built-in ELD for Hours-of-Service logging, which many tools only integrate. It covers dispatch, invoicing, expenses, IFTA, maintenance reminders, and settlements. Fleetive is not an ELD and not a dispatch board.
Where the two diverge is DOT compliance. TruckingOffice’s public product doesn’t surface a driver qualification file (DQF) vault, CDL/medical-card expiration alerting, or FMCSA safety data — and there’s no driver self-serve portal described. That compliance layer is Fleetive’s whole reason for existing: a DQF/CDL vault, alerts before credentials lapse, an FMCSA safety dashboard, driver onboarding, a driver portal, and itemized settlements.
On price, both are fair. TruckingOffice is per-truck with a generous 30-day no-card trial; Fleetive is flat and capacity-based ($29 / $69 / $149, every feature on every plan) with a 14-day no-card trial. If you need native HOS logging, keep TruckingOffice or a standalone ELD — and use Fleetive for the compliance, driver, and pay side.

TruckingOffice alternative questions
Is Fleetive an ELD like TruckingOffice has?
No. TruckingOffice includes a built-in ELD; Fleetive is not an ELD and does not record Hours of Service. Keep a standalone ELD (or TruckingOffice) for logging, and use Fleetive for DOT compliance, driver files, onboarding, a driver portal, and settlements.
Why choose Fleetive over TruckingOffice?
Choose Fleetive when your pain is compliance and drivers — driver qualification files, CDL/medical-card deadlines, FMCSA safety, digital onboarding, a driver self-serve portal, and clean settlements — which TruckingOffice’s public product doesn’t surface. Choose TruckingOffice (or run both) if you also need native dispatch, IFTA, and ELD.
Does Fleetive do dispatch and IFTA?
No. Fleetive focuses on DOT compliance, driver and fleet management, and settlements — not dispatch or IFTA tax filing. It’s common to pair a dispatch/IFTA tool with Fleetive for the compliance and driver side.
How does the pricing compare?
TruckingOffice is per-truck starting around $25/mo with a 30-day no-card trial. Fleetive is flat and capacity-based ($29 / $69 / $149) with every feature on every plan and a 14-day no-card trial. Confirm current pricing with each vendor.
