HOS (Hours of Service) regulations are designed to prevent driver fatigue by limiting the number of hours a commercial driver can operate a vehicle. However, there are certain situations where HOS exemptions apply, allowing drivers to exceed these limits under specific conditions. Common exemptions include emergency relief, agricultural operations, and certain short-haul activities. These exemptions are critical for ensuring that essential services and goods are delivered without undue delay during extraordinary circumstances.

TruckX provides HOS management tools for fleet managers. The TruckX platform provides information and reporting tools to help fleets take full advantage of available exemptions while allowing for compliance with the various rules contained within the exemptions. Driving time must be tracked for multiple purposes regardless of whether real-time HOS tracking systems are in place. Accomplishing automatic tracking of this time is an important feature of TruckX. Tracking time outside HOS and even inside allows for the prompt determination of and e-log reporting of any available HOS exemptions. In this manner, a fleet or a driver can have full confidence that they do not violate any applicable exemptions.

In addition to compliance tracking, TruckX offers real-time updates and notifications about any changes in regulations, including new exemptions. This keeps fleet managers informed and prepared to adjust operations as needed. With TruckX, managing HOS becomes a streamlined process, reducing the administrative burden while ensuring that fleet operations remain efficient and compliant.
