Fleet mileage reporting guide

Samsara mileage reporting from saved exports

Saved Samsara exports can support vehicle distance and assignment evidence. Keep pagination, timestamps, units, and source limitations visible from intake through review.

01

Save read-only evidence

Export or save the vehicle stats history and driver-to-vehicle assignments for the full reporting window. Record when the data was saved and whether the export is complete.

  • Vehicle IDs and names
  • Odometer readings with timestamps and units
  • Driver assignment start and end times
  • Pagination or continuation evidence
02

Prove identity before distance

Map Samsara vehicle IDs to the fleet unit, VIN, fuel-card vehicle, and finance vehicle. Do not join on display names alone when names can change or repeat.

  • Keep the upstream ID
  • Record match method and confidence
  • Route one-to-many matches to a fleet reviewer
03

Use odometer observations carefully

A distance segment based on the first and last observations inside an assignment window can understate boundary mileage. Preserve the observation timestamps and explain the limitation.

  • Normalize meters and miles
  • Reject decreasing odometers unless a documented reset applies
  • Flag large gaps and stale readings
04

Keep vendor boundaries clear

This workflow uses customer-saved exports. It does not claim direct Samsara access, certification, endorsement, or completeness beyond the files supplied.

  • Never include API credentials in a report
  • Keep exact locations out of public examples
  • Use a human reviewer for driver or conduct questions

Questions

Is Service Flow Pro affiliated with Samsara?

No. The skill works with saved read-only exports and is not affiliated with or certified by Samsara.

Does an odometer export prove every trip?

No. It supports distance observations. Assignment windows, gaps, and business purpose still need separate evidence.

What happens when a page of data is missing?

The report should flag possible incompleteness and avoid presenting the period as complete.
