Drivers of commercial vehicles struggle to track their 70-hour work clock separately from the 14-hour daily clock, as the 70-hour clock counts down continuously including off-duty time, leading to unexpected zero hours and unplanned downtime.

Existing ELD systems display both clocks but don't proactively warn drivers about the continuous countdown of the 70-hour clock, especially during off-duty periods, causing confusion and non-compliance risk.
