Direct answer
A weekly administrative checklist for driver files, expirations, training records, incidents, vehicle documents, and maintenance records. The contractor remains responsible for decisions, compliance, and the accuracy of source records.
Key takeaways
- Driver-file exceptions listed
- Expirations reviewed
- Training records updated
Review driver qualification and training files
Check client-required driver records, license and medical-document dates where applicable, motor-vehicle record status, training records, and unresolved onboarding items. Use advance reminders rather than waiting for an expiration date.
Review incident and safety follow-up
Confirm that client-supplied incident details, assigned follow-up, supporting records, and completion status are organized. Escalate missing decisions rather than treating an incomplete file as complete.
Review vehicle and maintenance records
Track registration and insurance reminders, scheduled maintenance, completed work, and open vendor follow-up. Administrative organization does not replace inspections, qualified maintenance, or contractor oversight.
