Fleets with an extensive line of trucks on the road are required to adhere to USA regulations called Hours of Service (HOS) compliance. These rules have been implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which aims to minimize road accidents. Driver fatigue is a significant cause of major road collisions: HOS regulations define the maximum hours one can drive, as well as the total number of hours in an on-duty status each day and per week. Compliance includes keeping an online log to report the time on the road and rest.
TruckX solutions are so easy that HOS compliance is as easy and efficient as Drive That’s all there is to it. No need to keep track of hours or duty status. And no need to account for rest breaks. TruckX Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) automatically record and monitor all those activities. That means correct data – right up to the minute. No need for paperwork, manual entries, or mistakes. No need to deduct time for irregularly long trips. Fewer timeÂ-wasting entries (like starting or ending a trip).
As automated tracking, TruckX’s platform issues real-time alerts to drivers and fleet managers when they are approaching the HOS limits. This helps prevent violations and assists with a driver’s decision to take a break if needed and avoid possible violations. Detailed reports generate meaningful information about driver behavior, and can assist fleet managers when making scheduling and operational decisions.
