If you are starting a trucking company or hiring your first driver, the law requires a driver qualification file for every driver. Watch the 90-second overview, then book a discovery call and we will help you pick.

Three Ways to Keep Your Driver Qualification Files (DQF) — Vertical Identity on YouTube.

Prices in the video are current as of October 2026 and can change.

— The three options

Pick who does the work, and what comes with it

  1. Membership, DQF included

    DQF comes with your consortium membership at no extra charge, powered by DQF Pro, along with the random testing pool. Membership is $85 a year for the first driver and $25 for each added driver, or $295 a year flat for unlimited drivers.

  2. DQF Pro

    The same driver file software, on its own: $48 per driver per year. You run the files yourself.

  3. Managed DQF

    We run the files for you, and your yearly MVR and Clearinghouse query are prepaid. The video shows the current price.

You decide who to hire

With every option, the decision is yours. Our software never qualifies a driver for you. Most companies sell DQF software on its own. With Vertical Identity, it is part of your membership.
