Commercial contracts

Write, check, renew and suspend commercial vehicle contracts for carriers. Police check them on a plate or by contract, DOT or MC number, and civilians apply for them at the DMV.

A commercial contract says a carrier is cleared to run the vehicles it lists, from a start date to an expiry. It's made for commercial vehicle enforcement: at a stop, the officer runs the plate and sees straight away whether the truck is on a live contract.

A contract has a carrier, which is a business on file or just a name, and optional DOT and MC numbers. It also has a type, a start date, an expiry date, the vehicles it covers and notes. Each one gets its own number, like CC-482913.

Before you start#

  • Someone with the Set up the CAD: call types, statuses, penal code, designs and AOP permission switches on Commercial contracts under CAD settings → Settings. It's off to begin with.
  • The contract types come from the Commercial contract types list on the Records page. The starter list is Standard, Hazardous materials, Oversize load, Livestock and Passengers. Change it to fit your server.
  • The contract number format is on the Documents page, under Commercial contract numbers.

Who can do what#

Who What they can do
Police on duty Write, edit, suspend, reinstate, revoke and renew contracts. Check them.
Dispatch on duty Check contracts.
DMV desk Issue contracts from applications. Renew, suspend, reinstate and revoke them.
Civilians See their contracts, and apply for one at the DMV when your community has the DMV switched on.

Fire and EMS don't see contracts.

Check a contract#

  • On a plate: run the plate. Each contract that lists the vehicle shows its number and state, like Contract CC-482913 active to 11/06/2027. Click it to open the contract.
  • By number: pick Contract as the search type and search a contract number, a DOT or MC number, or the carrier's name.
  • On a business: a business lookup lists the carrier's contracts.
  • The Contracts tab: shows the latest contracts. Click one to read it.

A contract shows as:

State Means
Active Live today.
Not started Its start date hasn't come yet.
Expired Its expiry date has passed.
Suspended Put on hold. It can be reinstated.
Revoked Cancelled for good. Write a new one instead.

Write a contract (police)#

  1. Run the plate and click Write contract, or open the Contracts tab and click New contract.
  2. Fill in the carrier. If the name matches a business on file, the contract links to that business.
  3. Add the DOT and MC numbers if the carrier has them, and pick the type.
  4. Set the start and expiry dates. Leave the expiry empty for a contract that doesn't expire.
  5. List the vehicles by plate, separated by commas or spaces. Each plate has to be on file, up to 50.
  6. Click Write contract.

To change one, open it and click Edit. The buttons under it suspend, reinstate, revoke or renew it. To renew, pick the new expiry date first.

Apply at the DMV (civilians)#

  1. In the civilian panel, open Contracts and pick your character.
  2. Click Apply at the DMV.
  3. Pick the carrier: one of your businesses, or yourself as an owner-operator.
  4. Add the DOT and MC numbers, pick the type, and tick the vehicles it covers.
  5. Click Send to the DMV.

The application shows under At the DMV until it's issued or denied. You can only have one contract application waiting at a time.

Issue and renew (DMV desk)#

Contract applications wait in the DMV queue with the others. Open one to see the carrier, the numbers and the vehicles, then click Issue or Deny. An issued contract starts today and lasts until the Valid until date.

To renew or suspend a contract, find the person at the counter. Their contracts, and their businesses' contracts, are listed under Commercial contracts.

Something not working?#

There's no Contract search or Contracts tab. Commercial contracts are switched off, or you're signed on as fire or EMS. Ask someone who sets up the CAD to switch them on under Settings.

It says a plate is "Not on file". Every plate on a contract has to belong to a vehicle in the CAD. Check the plate, or have the owner register the vehicle first.

Civilians can't apply. Applying goes through the DMV. With the DMV switched off, police write contracts instead.

A revoked contract can't be put back. That's on purpose. Write a new contract.
