Which rules does it check?

It simulates the trip against five independent regulatory thresholds and tracks the 70-hour rule on a rolling 8-day window. The compliance panel shows the 11-hour driving limit, the 14-hour duty window, the 10-hour rest and the 30-minute break.

What does it produce?

A trip summary, a route map, and one FMCSA-format daily log for each day of the trip, which export together as a multi-page PDF.

Are the rules checked after the trip is planned?

No. The rules are applied hour by hour as the trip is simulated, not checked after the fact.

HOS Trip Planner: DOT Hours-of-Service Compliance and Trip Planning

HOS Trip Planner plans trucking trips against DOT Hours-of-Service rules. It simulates the driver's duty schedule hour by hour, tracks the 70-hour rule on a rolling 8-day window, and generates FMCSA-format daily logs that export as a multi-page PDF.

The problem

US trucking compliance is rule-heavy: every trip has to be planned against DOT Hours-of-Service limits and every driver's day logged in FMCSA format. Checking those limits by hand is slow and easy to get wrong.

How it works

Simulated hour by hour
The engine advances only to the nearest of five regulatory thresholds, applying the rules as the trip runs.
A rolling 70-hour window
The rolling 8-day, 70-hour compliance window is tracked across the whole trip, not checked once at the end.
Daily logs are exported
Each driver's daily log renders as an FMCSA-format SVG grid, and all of the logs export as a multi-page PDF.

Walkthrough

About one minute

Trip Details asks for the current location, pickup, dropoff and the cycle hours used in the last 7 days.
Enter a route such as Boston to Fort Kent to San Francisco, set daily hours, then Generate HOS Schedule.
The Trip Summary shows total miles, driving, on-duty and off-duty time, days and average daily miles.
Compliance Status checks the 11-hour driving limit, 14-hour window, 10-hour rest and 30-minute break.
A route map traces the whole trip, with markers for pickup, dropoff, fuel stops, breaks and daily resets.
Daily Logs shows one FMCSA-format log for each day of the trip, and each log is drawn as an SVG grid.
Download all of the logs together as one multi-page PDF, or plan a new trip to start again from scratch.
