ADP + FleetWage
Export formatted payroll directly to ADP Run and ADP Workforce Now. Supports all ADP variants with automatic overtime-compliant rate conversion.
Overview
FleetWage exports formatted CSV files to all ADP payroll platforms, eliminating double data entry. Whether you use ADP Run, ADP Run GTSG, ADP Workforce Now, or ADP Workforce Now V2.0, FleetWage generates provider-specific files that import cleanly into your ADP account. The Back Into Rate feature automatically converts day-rate pay into overtime-compliant hourly rates for ADP integrations.
ADP is the largest payroll provider in North America, and many established FedEx ISP contractors have used it for years. The challenge for fleet owners has always been bridging the gap between FedEx settlement reports — which pay by stops, packages, and routes — and ADP, which expects clean hourly or salary data with proper overtime calculations. FleetWage closes that gap. Per-stop, per-package, day-rate, holiday, sixth-day, and bonus pay are calculated inside FleetWage, then exported to ADP in the precise column structure each ADP product requires.
Because ADP runs four different payroll platforms with subtly different file formats, getting an export right by hand is unforgiving. A misaligned column or wrong header name can fail the import and force you to fix the file row by row. FleetWage's ADP connector is tuned to each variant, so the file you download is the file ADP expects — no spreadsheet surgery, no re-keying, no support tickets to ADP because the import broke.

Why ADP Matters for FedEx ISP Contractors
FedEx ISP contractors run high-volume, hour-sensitive payroll across drivers who often switch routes, work split shifts, or pick up sixth days. ADP's compliance and tax engine is excellent, but ADP doesn't speak "per-stop pay" or "package incentive" — it expects standardized hours and rates. Without FleetWage, owners typically rebuild this every week in a spreadsheet and pray nothing slipped through. With FleetWage, the calculation is deterministic, the export is formatted, and the audit trail is preserved if a driver ever disputes a paycheck. The Back Into Rate feature is what makes day-rate ADP payroll legally defensible. When a driver works 52 hours on a $185/day rate, you can't just send ADP a flat day rate — overtime law requires a regular rate of pay calculation. FleetWage does that math for you, derives the correct hourly and overtime rates from actual hours worked, and ships the result to ADP in a format ADP will accept on the first try.

Features
What you get with the ADP integration.
Four ADP Formats Supported
ADP Run, ADP Run GTSG, ADP Workforce Now, and ADP Workforce Now V2.0 — FleetWage generates the correct format for each.
Back Into Rate
Automatically converts day-rate pay into OT-compliant hourly rates. A $185/day rate becomes the correct hourly and overtime rates based on actual hours worked.
One-Click CSV Export
Generate a properly formatted CSV file that imports directly into ADP without manual formatting or data entry.
Multi-Company Support
If you operate multiple companies in ADP, FleetWage handles each one separately with its own Back Into Rate settings.
Common Use Cases
How FedEx ISP contractors use FleetWage with ADP every week.
Multi-CSA owners on ADP Workforce Now
Operators running three or more CSAs use ADP Workforce Now V2.0 for HR, benefits, and tax filing. FleetWage handles the per-stop and overtime math at the route level and pushes a single clean import to ADP each pay period.
Smaller fleets on ADP Run
ISP contractors with one to two CSAs typically use ADP Run. FleetWage's Run-specific export removes the weekly hour of CSV cleanup and lets a single bookkeeper close payroll in under an hour.
Day-rate fleets that need OT compliance
If you pay drivers a flat day rate, Back Into Rate converts that into hourly + overtime rates ADP will accept and tax correctly. You stay compliant with the FLSA and don't have to redesign your driver pay model.
Owners scaling from QuickBooks to ADP
Growing ISPs frequently move from QuickBooks Payroll to ADP once headcount crosses 25–30 drivers. FleetWage stays the same — only the export target changes — so you don't have to rebuild your payroll process during the migration.
Best Practices & Tips
Advice from FedEx ISP contractors who use FleetWage with ADP.
- Run a small parallel payroll the first week you go live with the ADP integration: process the same period in FleetWage and in ADP separately, then compare. The two should match to the cent. If they don't, the discrepancy almost always points to an ADP earnings code that needs to be added.
- Set up the same earnings codes in ADP that FleetWage produces — Regular, Overtime, Bonus, Holiday, and (for day-rate fleets) Day Rate. Mismatched codes are the most common cause of failed imports.
- Turn Back Into Rate on at the company level if you pay any drivers by the day. Leaving it off is the single biggest source of overtime compliance risk for ADP-using fleets.
- Reconcile the ADP register against the FleetWage Payroll Dashboard before you finalize each pay run. The dashboard shows per-driver gross pay, expected taxes, and net — five minutes of reconciliation prevents most paycheck disputes.
- If you operate multiple companies in ADP, treat each company as its own connection in FleetWage. Don't try to merge them into a single export — ADP will reject mixed-company files.
