The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforces HOS rules to help drivers stay safe and avoid fatigue-related crashes. These laws stipulate the hours that an operator can work and drive, and how long they are permitted to take off and come back on. Drivers, for example, are only allowed to drive for 11 hours over 14 hours before taking a 10-hour break.

To remain in compliance with HOS regulations is very important to fleet operators as it can lead to severe fines, penalties, and even downtime of the vehicles. TruckX provides an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) to facilitate HOS tracking and compliance. This application will track driving time, rest periods, and other required data automatically keeping drivers and fleet managers within the confines of the law. By proactively alerting and automating reports, TruckX’s ELD platform reduces the chance of violations and avoids heavy fines for fleets.

TruckX’s solution also includes a user-friendly interface to assist in driver compliance and fleet managers in keeping an overall view of what they are running. TruckX helps fleets meet HOS requirements, increase safety, and increase operational efficiencies.
