version: 1.0.31
This feature minimises paperwork and allows each drivers trip to be logged clearly and accurately, and ensures that all legal requirements are met and recorded for display.

Enhanced Features

  • R:COM provides the driver with an intuitive user interface that mimics the format and content of the paper driver logs - this greatly simplifies training.
  • R:COM ensures that the driver inputs their current duty state and clearly displays their remaining drive time/on-duty time.
  • R:COM reports the driver’s remaining drive time/on-duty time, allowing the planner to intervene where necessary to avoid infringements.
  • R:COM is connected to the truck ECM and automatically changes duty state to ‘driving’ when the vehicle is moving.
  • R:COM supports team drivers and drivers working between multiple vehicles.
  • R:COM allows the driver to complete and record pre and post-trip inspections.
  • R:COM alerts the driver if an hours of service violation is imminent.
  • R:COM allows the driver to correct/edit entries while maintaining a record of the original entries for audit purposes.
  • R:COM allows the driver to show up-to-date logbook information to law enforcement officers, US FMCSA inspectors or Canadian Ministry of Transportation enforcement officers, from inside or outside the cab.
  • R:COM makes it easy to seamlessly comply with the latest rules and regulations from the US FMCSA and the Canadian Ministry of Transportation.

Greater Savings

  • R:COM allows more efficient planning as it provides the dispatcher with real time updates of the driver location, drive time and on-duty time available.
  • R:COM reduces the likelihood of hours of service regulation breaches and the related costs, such as fines.
  • R:COM allows you to avoid costs associated with manual log systems including data entry by drivers into paper logbooks, back-office processing and storage of logbooks.
  • R:COM offers the lowest cost GPRS communications packages in the industry.
  • R:COM reduces the office administration overhead associated with editing Drivers HOS logs by enabling the driver make the necessary edits and corrections using the R:COM in-cab terminal.
  • As soon as driver logs onto the system, the driver’s previous seven days of logs are automatically downloaded to the truck. R:COM In-Cab Terminal shows a visual summary of the current driver state and the remaining time available in each of the three categories required by regulation.
  • R:COM allows driver’s hours to be displayed as a graph or a table. In graph format the data presentation is similar to that of the paper logbook, reducing training time and improving ease-of-use.
  • R:COM allows additional driver status entries to be configured as required including pre-trip and post-trip, personal conveyance, fuel, border and many more.
  • R:COM allows the driver to correct/edit duty states and times (except driving) and highlights any entries that have been modified. The original data is also retained and retrieved when the Driver Hours Log is downloaded from the in-cab terminal, thus providing a full audit trail of any changes.
  • R:COM displays an Hours of Service compliance report that details all duty state changes and any infringements. In addition R:COM includes all reports to monitor driver working hours and check for non compliance. The fleet manager can use this information to intervene when necessary, ensuring the driver respects their driving and resting times.
