A simple system for CDL document expiry reminders

Document tracking works best when every date has an owner, enough notice, and a visible follow-up history.

Keep dates with the driver

Store each document type, expiry date, current status, and supporting file on the driver record instead of a separate reminder sheet.

Notify before the deadline

Create reminders early enough for the driver and safety team to act. Telegram notifications can bring upcoming dates into a channel the team already watches.

Assign the next action

A notification should lead to a task: contact the driver, request a replacement, verify the file, or escalate the issue.

Keep a clear history

Record when the team contacted the driver and when the new document arrived. That history prevents repeated requests and unclear ownership.
