Hours of Service Compliance, Automated

Stop calculating duty status by hand. loopELD records HOS from the engine, warns before violations, and exports DOT-ready logs in one tap.

HOS rules are simple on paper and brutal in practice. An 11-hour driving limit, a 14-hour duty window, a 30-minute break after 8 hours, a 60/70-hour weekly limit, and a single miscalculation can ground a truck or trigger a 4.5 SMS score in CSA. loopELD records HOS automatically from engine data, color-codes remaining time on the driver app, and warns dispatch the moment a violation becomes likely. Built for the way US drivers actually work.

What you get

Auto duty-status tracking

On-duty, off-duty, sleeper, and driving statuses change automatically based on engine motion and driver app input. No manual annotations.

Pre-violation alerts

Drivers get warnings 30 minutes, 15 minutes, and 5 minutes before any HOS clock runs out. Dispatch sees the same warnings.

Exception handling

100/150 air-mile short-haul, adverse driving conditions, sleeper-berth split (8/2 and 7/3), personal conveyance, and yard moves are all supported.

Edits with full audit trail

Drivers can request edits; dispatch approves. Every change is timestamped and logged per FMCSA edit-trail requirements.

Driver app drivers love

Big buttons, clear remaining-time clocks, and offline mode for dead-zone routes. Available for iOS and Android.

DOT-ready exports

Transfer 6 months of logs via web service or email in one tap at a roadside inspection. Officers can also view directly on the device.

Frequently asked questions

All US FMCSA HOS rules: 11-hour driving limit, 14-hour duty window, 30-minute break, 60/70-hour rules, sleeper-berth provisions (including 8/2 and 7/3 splits), short-haul exceptions, and adverse driving conditions.

Driving status is auto-detected when the truck moves above 5 mph for more than 3 seconds, per FMCSA spec. Other statuses default to on-duty when the engine is on and can be changed in the app.

The app warns 30/15/5 minutes ahead, suggests the nearest safe stop, and notifies dispatch so a relief driver or load swap can be arranged.

Yes. The dispatcher dashboard shows every driver's remaining 11-hour, 14-hour, and 70-hour clocks, plus current duty status, refreshed in real time.

Yes. The app starts an 8-hour driving clock as soon as the driver hits on-duty status and warns when a 30-minute break is required before further driving.

The app prompts the driver to certify each 24-hour period before allowing the next day's drive. Uncertified logs are flagged on the dispatcher dashboard for follow-up.

Roadside violations, false logs, and CSA score hits all start with bad HOS data. Fix the data and the rest takes care of itself.
