Build your driver safety
manual in minutes.

A guided online builder that turns a few questions about your operation into a complete, company-branded driver safety manual — DOT and FMCSA policy language done for you. Free to start.

7-day Premium+ trial · no credit card · Word & PDF export

A DOT driver handbook without the blank page.

Every motor carrier needs a written driver safety manual — it's what an auditor asks for, what your insurer expects, and what sets the rules your drivers are held to. Most carriers either don't have one or are working from a decade-old template that no longer matches the FMCSA rules. The Driver Safety Manual Builder walks you through it: answer plain questions about your fleet, and it assembles a complete, professionally-written manual with your company name on every page. No consultant fees, no starting from a blank document.

What's Inside

Every policy your drivers need, written for you.

Company driver handbook

Core safety policies, driver responsibilities, and operating rules assembled around your fleet — the FMCSA-aligned foundation every carrier needs on file.

Drug & alcohol policy

A DOT/Part 40-aware drug and alcohol testing policy your drivers acknowledge — one of the first documents an auditor asks to see.

Return-to-work program

A structured return-to-work process so an injured driver's path back is documented, consistent, and defensible.

Modified & light-duty

Modified-duty and light-duty program language that keeps drivers productive and your workers-comp exposure down.

Your branding

Your company name and logo on every page — it reads like you paid a firm to write it, because the policy language was written by safety practitioners.

Word & PDF export

Publish and download a finished manual as Word or PDF, ready to hand to drivers, an auditor, or your insurer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is a driver safety manual?

A driver safety manual (or driver handbook) is the written document that sets the safety policies, rules, and expectations for your drivers. For a DOT-regulated motor carrier it's a core compliance record — an auditor and your insurer both expect one on file, and it's the basis for holding drivers accountable.

Is the manual FMCSA compliant?

The builder uses policy language written by safety practitioners to align with current FMCSA and DOT expectations, including Part 40 drug & alcohol testing. It gives you a strong, defensible foundation; for a formal compliance review of your specific operation, Synergy Safety Group offers consulting services.

What does it cost?

You can start for free — pick up to 7 policies, preview the whole manual, and export it once. Premium is $39/month on a 12-month plan and unlocks unlimited policies, every gated policy (drug & alcohol, crash, telematics and more), Spanish/bilingual manuals, and unlimited edits and re-exports. Premium+ is $79/month and adds the AI policy writer and custom policies written for you. Or pay $468 up front for the year and get Premium+ the whole time — about $480 less than Premium+ monthly. Current Synergy compliance and safety clients get the premium builder at no cost.

What's included free vs. paid?

Free covers up to 7 core policies in English with a single export. A subscription unlocks the rest of the library — including drug & alcohol, adverse weather, telematics/camera monitoring, aggressive driving, and crash & incident procedures — plus Spanish/bilingual output, unlimited policies, and unlimited edits and re-exports.

Can I edit the manual after I export it?

On the free plan your export is a locked snapshot you can re-download, but changing it or exporting again requires a subscription. On Premium and Premium+, your manuals stay fully editable and you can update, add policies, and re-export whenever you need.

Can I get a policy that isn't in the library?

Yes, on Premium+. Use the built-in AI policy writer to draft a custom policy from a short prompt in the same house style, or request one and our team writes it — either way it's added to your manual.

Can I build manuals for more than one company?

A Premium or Premium+ subscription is licensed for a single company — the first one you build a manual for. If you're a safety consultant or agency that needs to build for multiple carriers, we offer a Consultant License with one login for unlimited companies and custom pricing. Contact Synergy Safety Group at info@synergysafetygroup.com and we'll set it up.

Is this legal advice?

No. Synergy Safety Group is not legal counsel and does not provide legal advice. The builder gives you a strong, practitioner-written foundation, but you should have all policies reviewed by your own legal representation before you adopt them.

What formats can I download?

Finished manuals export as Microsoft Word and PDF, ready to distribute to drivers, hand to an auditor, or send to your insurer.

Do I need an account?

Yes — sign in with Google or an emailed code so your manuals are saved to you and only you can pull them back up. Subscribers can save and recall every manual they've built.
