Truck drivers struggle with managing complex Hours of Service (HOS) rules, especially special provisions like the 2-hour extension, and lack intuitive tools to know when and how to use them without risking violations.

Existing ELD systems log hours but do not proactively guide drivers on complex rules like the 2-hour extension (e.g., usage limits, clock impacts, sleeper requirements), forcing drivers to rely on manual rule recall or guesswork.
