Dispatch scheduling software that accounts for driver HOS limits and realistic transit times

App Concept

HOS-Compliant Dispatch Planner

A dispatch planning tool that integrates each driver's current Hours of Service, tarp time, fuel stops, and traffic to automatically calculate feasible load assignments. It alerts dispatchers when a load would require split breaks or exceed legal limits, eliminating manual guesswork and unrealistic expectations.

Key Features

Real-time HOS integration with ELD data per driver
Automatic route feasibility check including tarp, fuel, and traffic buffers
Split-break prediction and alert if required
Dispatcher dashboard with conflict warnings and alternative load suggestions

Target Users: Dispatch managers and fleet planners in trucking companies (flatbed, regional) with 10–200 drivers.

Revenue Model: $50/mo per dispatcher seat, with additional $10/mo per driver tracked
