The driver mobile app

What drivers install, what they can do, and the permissions that make tracking work.

Getting it

Drivers open /driver-app on the FleetOS site to install it. It runs as an installable web app on any phone, and there is a signed Android build for devices where that works better.

Signing in

With the email you invited them on. A driver sees only their own trips, parcels and expenses — never the rest of the fleet.

What a driver can do

  • Go on duty and off duty. Position is only reported while on duty.
  • See today's trips, with waypoints in order.
  • Follow the route with turn-by-turn guidance and an off-route warning.
  • Capture proof of delivery — photo and signature.
  • Log fuel fills and expenses, with a photo of the receipt.
  • Record vehicle condition photos at handover.

Permissions that matter

  • Location: "Allow all the time". "While using the app" stops reporting as soon as the screen locks, which is most of the working day.
  • Battery optimisation: excluded. Many Android phones suspend background apps and will silently stop tracking otherwise.
  • Notifications, so dispatch can reach the driver about a new or changed trip.

Offline

The app keeps working with no signal. Trips, positions and proof of delivery queue on the phone and upload when coverage returns.
