Trucking Compliance & Fleet Management Platform

Published: May 2025

Over the course of several months, I have been designing and engineering a full-featured internal web platform tailored to the trucking and logistics industry. While the application is still in development, it is already structured as a commercial-grade solution—capable of managing compliance, fleet operations, employee onboarding, and documentation workflows.

Project Status

This application is currently under active development and being built entirely by me, from architecture to UI. While it hasn’t been deployed to production users yet, all core modules are functioning and the app serves as a working prototype modeled on real-world trucking operations.

Project Origins & Vision

The idea came from close contact with professionals in the logistics industry who were still managing essential operations via paper forms, email chains, and disconnected Excel files. Drivers, brokers, and fleet admins were constantly dealing with:

• Lost or expired compliance documents
• Manual onboarding and training tracking
• Outdated vehicle and inspection records
• Multiple logins across disjointed tools

I realized there was an opportunity to build a centralized, role-aware application to solve all of these problems in a way that’s modern, secure, and easy to use.

Target Users

• Fleet Managers who need visibility into vehicles, drivers, and document expirations
• Company Drivers who must upload licenses, medical cards, and compliance documents
• Brokers verifying carrier qualifications before contract award
• Admins overseeing HR, settings, and onboarding flows

Technology Stack

I chose Blazor Server with .NET because it allowed me to deliver a rich, interactive UI while retaining full server-side control. Razor Components and C# business logic live side-by-side, resulting in excellent developer ergonomics and performance.

• Blazor Server – Real-time UI updates with full control over app state
• Entity Framework – For object-relational mapping and data integrity
• ASP.NET Core Identity – Handles login, roles, and claims-based access
• Bootstrap 5 – Lightweight and flexible UI foundation

App Modules

1. Home Dashboard

Each user sees a personalized dashboard showing tasks, alerts, and document statuses relevant to their role. For example, drivers see required uploads; managers see document expirations and missing compliance items.

2. Authentication & Access Control

Users are assigned roles like Driver, Admin, or Broker. The app uses claims-based routing to secure modules accordingly. A Broker can only see public-facing fleet data, while an Admin controls onboarding and compliance configuration.

3. Fleet & Vehicle Management

Fleet admins can add and archive trucks, assign drivers, and upload vehicle-specific documents like insurance and inspection reports. Each vehicle has a unique profile and timeline of activities.

4. Document Upload & Expiration Tracking

Drivers and admins can upload documents with metadata like category, expiration date, and visibility scope. The system automatically flags documents nearing expiration or missing from user profiles.

5. Business Document Center

A centralized repository for company-level documents: W-9s, proof of insurance, carrier agreements, and DOT filings. Organized by type and date, with search and filtering capabilities.

6. Employee Directory & Roles

Admins can onboard new drivers, edit roles, or deactivate access. Employees can view and update their own profiles, including uploading required personal and compliance documents.

7. Public Fleet Profiles

Each company has a lightweight public profile page showing DOT number, insurance status, and key compliance information. Brokers and clients can use this for fast validation.

8. Settings & Admin Controls

The Settings module allows platform admins to configure document categories, email notifications, profile visibility options, and company branding.

User Experience

I designed the UI to feel modern, minimal, and intuitive even for non-technical users. Buttons are large, feedback is immediate, and every form has helpful validation and tips. Upload workflows are mobile-friendly and optimized for truck drivers on the go.

Challenges I Solved

• Secured multi-role access without overcomplicating the user flow
• Built dynamic upload and tagging components using Razor reactivity
• Implemented soft-deletes and audit logs for all document changes
• Created modular Blazor components reusable across different modules
• Mapped real-world workflows into clean digital equivalents

Outcomes So Far

Although not yet deployed to a live customer base, this app is production-ready. It has already been tested across different devices and user types, and it's been invaluable in showing potential clients what I can build independently.

• Reduced time to onboard a new driver to under 10 minutes
• Created clean audit trail for over 30 different document types
• Enabled real-time visibility into fleet status for brokers and admins

What This Project Demonstrates

This application demonstrates my ability to design and ship complete web platforms:

• End-to-end product thinking
• Secure, scalable .NET architecture
• Custom component engineering with Blazor
• Real-world UX built from firsthand observation

It also shows how I think about software: not just as code, but as tools to empower businesses and professionals in industries that are often overlooked by mainstream software vendors.

If you're interested in a modern system like this for your business—whether it's fleet management, compliance, or internal tools—I'd love to help.
