has been developed by the staff at Trevlac Computer Services Ltd. in collaboration with Dynamic Transport Solutions. Trevlac Computer Services Ltd. has been in the software development business for over 45 years and, more recently, has developed a number of cloud-based applications. The staff at Dynamic Transport Solutions have many years of experience in the enforcement of the trucking regulations for both large and small fleet operators.
With the advent of the Electronic Logging Device (ELD) requirement for long-haul truck operators in many jurisdictions, Compliant Trucking Inc. has developed a system for local fleet operators where their drivers stay within the 160 km/100 mile radius of their Home Terminal and do not require an ELD.
Although they are not required to have an ELD, these ‘local’ operators still must track their drivers’ Hours of Service (HoS), be able to produce a Pre-Trip Inspection if stopped by an inspector at the roadside, and track the maintenance of their vehicles and produce records to show how PTI defects were repaired.
Operators must also maintain the HoS for all drivers for 6 months and the PTIs and maintenance records for all vehicles for 24 months.
The Compliant software allows drivers to capture their HoS, PTIs, and generate Workorders on a smartphone or tablet, have the data communicated, in real-time via a cellular network, to a cloud-based database, and all data can be viewed and printed immediately on computers in the operator’s office(s).
If a defect is detected during a PTI, the Compliant software can automatically generate a workorder in our cloud database so that the workorders are immediately available to technicians and mechanics. Parts invoices used in the repair of vehicles can be photographed or scanned and stored with the completed workorders so that all of the government required information is kept with the workorder in the event of an audit.
Warnings can be communicated to drivers and supervisory staff when Driving and On Duty time limits are imminent or have been reached during a shift. Cycle times are monitored as well as the need for at least 24 hours of Off Duty time in a 14-day period. All of the limits are configured to the jurisdiction and the warning times and recipients are set by the client.
Compliant Trucking Inc. is dedicated to providing a simple and complete software package to its clients to enable them to be compliant with government regulations and we will continue to improve and enhance the product based on our clients’ requirements and requests.
