A new fleet management program from Blue Tree USA will advise drivers on the best use of their time to meet hours-of-service requirements.

HOS Advisor provides drivers with a “current status” identifying how many hours and minutes they have remaining, along with options on how to proceed.

“Drivers can use the HOS Advisor tool at any time during the day and it will advise them on “drive time remaining” and the options available to maximize their driving hours,” said Charlie Cahill, CEO. “Being able to instantly see a list of scenarios advising ‘if you select duty state ‘X’ for duration ‘Y’ then this will happen’ really helps drivers decide how to best use their hours. It’s like having an HOS expert riding in the passenger seat helping you make the appropriate decisions to best optimize your working day.”

HOS Advisor will be provided to fleets using Blue Tree’s R:Com fleet management system at no additional cost.
