Cancellation steps
- 1
Read your PeopleNet agreement first. Confirm the exact term end date, notice window, and whether the plan auto-renews — the contract governs, not what support tells you on the phone.
- 2
Put the cancellation in writing. Email PeopleNet billing with your account number, DOT number, unit list, and the effective end date, and ask for written confirmation.
- 3
Export six months of RODS, DVIRs, and IFTA mileage from the PeopleNet Fleet Manager portal before your login is deactivated. FMCSA requires you to retain the records regardless of who your provider is.
- 4
Settle hardware. In-cab displays are leased; de-installation and return are your cost. Get the return address and tracking in writing so a device fee cannot be added later.
- 5
Cancel connectivity and auto-pay. Confirm the SIM/data plan is terminated and remove the card on file only after the final invoice clears.
- 6
Run both systems for 3–5 days during the overlap so drivers never have a compliance gap, then remove the old app from every phone and tablet.
