DOT Integration for Shifts

Enable DOT ticket flagging for paving and milling shifts so scale tickets are submitted automatically to the appropriate state agency.

Introduction

FleetWatcher supports direct DOT integration for customers who need to submit scale ticket data to state transportation agencies. When both the Project and Shift are marked as DOT-enabled, scale tickets generated during that shift will be flagged and transmitted to the appropriate DOT portal — provided the API is configured.

Navigation

To enable DOT support:

Go to: MMS > Shifts > Add/Edit Shifts

Also set: DOT checkbox in the related Project

Enabling DOT on a Shift

  1. Go to the What section of the shift

  2. Check the DOT checkbox

  3. Make sure the related Project also has its DOT checkbox selected

  4. The Project’s address must include a valid State value

If either the Shift or Project lacks DOT configuration, tickets will not be flagged or submitted.

Requirements

  • DOT API integration must be enabled by your FleetWatcher team

  • The Project must include a valid State to determine the correct DOT portal

  • DOT tickets only process automatically if all conditions are met at the time of ticket issuance

How It Works

  • When the shift runs and scale tickets are issued:

    • Tickets are flagged as DOT tickets in FleetWatcher

    • Tickets are bundled and sent to the appropriate state API (if configured)

    • The tickets appear in the DOT submission logs for that agency

Notes

  • You can turn the DOT setting on or off per shift

  • FleetWatcher does not retroactively re-flag tickets if DOT is enabled after the shift starts

  • This feature is only available to customers with an active DOT API setup
