The Problem

Driver check-in is where bad data becomes operational chaos.

When arrivals are handled manually, teams lose control of appointment validation, trailer status, driver information, and yard routing. A truck may be onsite, but the dock, gate, yard, and transportation teams may all see different versions of the truth.

  • Drivers arrive without clear appointment or shipment validation.
  • Gate teams manually collect the same carrier, tractor, and trailer details.
  • Early, late, and unscheduled arrivals are handled inconsistently.
  • Trailer status is not always captured cleanly at arrival.
  • Dock and yard teams do not always know what checked in or what needs action.

How Fidelis Helps

Driver check-in connected to the rest of the operation.

Fidelis turns check-in into a structured workflow that captures the right details, validates appointment context, and creates downstream visibility for gate, dock, yard, and shipment execution.

Appointment Validation

Confirm whether the driver is expected, early, late, missing an appointment, or outside facility rules.

Driver Details

Capture driver name, phone, ID, tractor number, carrier, and other compliance fields in one workflow.

Trailer Details

Record trailer number, loaded or empty status, shipment number, BOL, and drop or live workflow details.

Early & Late Controls

Apply guardrails for early arrivals, late arrivals, approvals, holds, and check-in exceptions.

Gate-to-Yard Handoff

Move checked-in drivers into gate-in, dock assignment, yard spot assignment, or trailer inventory workflows.

Shared Operational Context

Make check-in activity visible across dock scheduling, yard management, workstation, and shipment history.

Workflow

From arrival to controlled yard movement.

01

Driver arrives

Start check-in from an appointment, manual arrival, carrier arrival queue, or facility gate workflow.

02

Validate appointment context

Confirm whether the load is expected, scheduled, early, late, missing, or requires manual approval.

03

Capture driver and trailer details

Collect the information needed for compliance, dock execution, yard assignment, and shipment history.

04

Route the driver or trailer

Send the move to a dock door, yard spot, hold queue, trailer inventory, or outbound departure workflow.

Operational Impact

Check-in data your team can actually use.

Checked-In Trucks Live visibility to drivers waiting, approved, or ready for gate-in
