HOS Calculator

Plan commercial truck routes with the requirements of the U.S. Federal Hours of Service (HOS) regulations, height, weight, axle counts and HAZMAT route restrictions incorporated into route calculations.

You can customize the default values suggested by TollGuru’s HOS Manager such as Available Duty Time Remaining until work day end, until mandatory rest break, until driving hours end, until time cycle reset. When the route is generated, the HOS Manager will insert rest stops at intervals that meet HOS requirements. The rest stops suggested by TollGuru’s HOS Manager can be customized. It helps avoids a possible violation of HOS regulations.
