Driver documents in waste disposal, municipal depots and administration

In waste disposal companies and municipalities, refuse vehicles, depot lorries, tractors and company cars operate side by side. The categories and deadlines differ accordingly. FleetCred brings everything into one overview, separated by business or department.

Many vehicle types, one overview

  • Refuse collection and recycling centre: lorry drivers with C or CE, driver qualification and, where applicable, driver card
  • Special waste: additionally the ADR certificate, valid for five years
  • Municipal depot and winter service: lorries, Unimogs, tractors and sweepers, often with changing drivers
  • Administration: company cars and pool vehicles with category B

For each driver, you decide which documents they need. A clerk with a pool vehicle receives only the driving licence check; a driver in special waste receives all four documents.

Co-determination and data protection

Software that records data about employees should be discussed early with the works council or staff council. FleetCred helps with clear information: servers in Germany, a data processing agreement, encrypted photos with an adjustable deletion period, and a log that records only what is necessary. More under Security and in the article Driving licence checks and data protection.

Frequently asked questions

Can several departments work separately?

Yes. Each driver belongs to a cost centre, and the overview can be filtered accordingly. Roles determine who checks and who can only read.

Can FleetCred be connected to our HR software?

Import and export via Excel are always included. We offer a direct connection individually on request.
