Electronic logging devices (ELDs) restrict driver flexibility to take breaks during loading and make up time, reducing productivity and increasing frustration.

Current ELD systems enforce rigid break rules and do not allow drivers to dynamically adjust schedules based on real-time loading delays, leading to lost driving time.

Software that allows drivers to log loading time as off-duty break and automatically adjust remaining driving window

App Concept

FlexiLog ELD

An ELD that automatically logs waiting time at loading docks as off-duty break time, allowing drivers to defer required breaks and extend driving windows when delays occur. Integrates with dispatch to adjust schedules in real time, restoring driver autonomy while staying compliant.

Key Features

Automatic detection of loading/unloading status to log break time
Rule-based flexible break deferral (capped by hours-of-service limits)
Real-time integration with dispatch for schedule adjustments
Driver dashboard showing remaining available driving time after deferrals

Target Users: Truck drivers and fleet managers in long-haul and regional trucking operations, especially owner-operators and small fleets (1-50 trucks).

Revenue Model: $39/mo per vehicle subscription, with a $59/mo premium tier including advanced dispatch integration and analytics.
