App Concept

HOS-Dispatch Optimizer

HOS-Dispatch Optimizer is a scheduling & dispatch app for trucking that integrates real-time Hours of Service (HOS) compliance and automated detention tracking. It prevents dispatchers from assigning loads with unrealistic deadlines by validating travel time and HOS availability, and automatically charges detention fees when facilities cause delays.

Key Features

Real-time HOS validation before load assignment to prevent illegal schedules
Automated detention tracking and billing for facility-caused delays
Driver HOS dashboard with visual remaining hours and layover planning
Integration with ELD devices for live HOS data

Target Users: Trucking fleet dispatchers and owner-operator drivers who need to balance HOS compliance with on-time delivery and fair detention compensation

Revenue Model: SaaS subscription per truck per month
