For tanker and hazardous-goods fleets
The extra papers a tanker carries, on the same calendar.
Petroleum, LPG, chemical and bitumen tankers carry everything a goods truck does, plus a hazardous-goods document set and the approvals your principal checks. PRACHSO keeps both sets on one record per tanker and one export per audit.

The extra document set
Six more things to keep current, and who they belong to.
Named only where the requirement is set out in the Central Motor Vehicles Rules or by PESO. Your principal's contract may add more; PRACHSO can track any dated item you add.
| Document | Belongs to | Where it comes from | How PRACHSO tracks it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hazardous-goods endorsement | Driver's licence | CMVR rule 9 (driver qualification and training) | Read from SARATHI with the licence; tracked as its own date |
| TREM card | Each load | CMVR rules 129 to 137 (carriage of dangerous or hazardous goods) | Checklist item at loading, photo stored per trip |
| Labels and placards | The vehicle | CMVR rules 129 to 137 | Checklist item with photo evidence |
| PESO licences | Tank or pressure vessel | Licences issued by PESO | Uploaded to the vault with expiry date and reminder |
| Principal vehicle approval | Contract with the OMC or chemical company | Your contract terms | Dated item with the principal's name |
| Principal audit date | Contract | Your contract terms | Audit pack exported per principal |
PRACHSO tracks dates and documents. It does not issue, renew or certify any licence, and it does not give legal or safety advice.

Who does what
The same tanker, seen by four people.
The owner sees contract risk
A lapsed approval or a failed audit can take a tanker off a principal's contract. The owner sees every tanker's status by principal, and hears about anything that threatens a contract 30 days ahead.

Before a principal audit
From audit notice to export in one sitting.
How a tanker fleet prepares when the principal announces an audit.
- 1
Audit notice
Add the audit date
Enter the principal, the depot and the audit date. Every tanker on that contract is listed with its status.
- 2
Same day
See the gaps
Anything that will have lapsed by the audit date shows red: an endorsement, a PESO licence, an approval, a fitness certificate.
- 3
Before the audit
Close the gaps
Each gap becomes a renewal task with an owner and a due date before the audit. Escalation runs if nobody acts.
- 4
Audit day
Export the pack
One PDF per tanker or one ZIP for the contract, holding every document valid on the audit date and the renewal history.
Questions fleet owners ask
Tanker operators ask about scope first. Here is exactly what PRACHSO covers.
Which hazardous-goods rules does PRACHSO track?
PRACHSO tracks the documents and dates: the hazardous-goods endorsement on the driver's licence, the TREM card and labelling covered by CMVR rules 9 and 129 to 137, PESO licences for tanks and pressure vessels, and your principal's approvals and audit dates. It does not interpret the rules for your product or route; your safety officer and principal set those.
Can PRACHSO read PESO licences automatically?
No. VAHAN and SARATHI do not hold them. You upload the licence copy once by WhatsApp photo, email or web, enter its expiry, and PRACHSO reminds you like any other date.
What happens if a driver's hazardous endorsement lapses?
The driver is flagged as not cleared for hazardous loads. If he is assigned to a tanker, the truck shows on hold in the dispatch view until the endorsement is renewed or another endorsed driver is assigned.
Our principal audits every quarter. What does the export look like?
One PDF per vehicle or one ZIP per contract, holding every document valid on the audit date, the driver's licence and endorsement, and the renewal history. Principal and contract audit reports are part of Enterprise.
Which plan do tanker fleets need?
The hazardous-goods document set and principal audit reports are in Enterprise, at ₹299 per vehicle a month or a custom contract. The general cargo trucks in the same fleet can stay on the same account.
