Truck driver is asked to review logs to avoid accidentally logging on-duty time, but lacks hours to complete deliveries due to poor dispatch planning.

Workarounds Described

• Logs 15-minute pre-trip and marks rest as off-duty to conserve hours
• Calls ops multiple times to ask about hours but gets no solution
• Relies on 34-hour reset to recover hours instead of planning ahead

Implied Software Gaps

• Dispatch software that automatically checks driver availability before assigning loads
• Real-time HOS visibility integrated with route planning

HoursGuard Dispatch

HoursGuard Dispatch is a compliance-first route planning tool that integrates with ELDs to automatically check driver hours against delivery deadlines before assigning a load. It alerts dispatchers and drivers of potential hour shortages and suggests optimal rest stops or load swaps, preventing last-minute violations and forced 34-hour resets.
