Reduce unnecessary costs and risks
Avoid costs caused by manual log systems, possible regulations compliance breaches, operational inefficiency and reduced productivity that occure when you decide not to employ an Electronic On-Board Recording (EOBR) system for operating inside Hours of Service regulations.
Telargo understands the associated risks, so we have made it easy to seamlessly comply with the latest rules and regulations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), in particular the regulation 395.15 specifying Electronic On-board Recording devices used to record driver’s hours of service in lieu of traditional paper logs.
Automated efficiency
The Telargo Hours of Service product is comprised of:

- Total miles driving today;
- Total hours on duty for the 7 consecutive day period, including today;

What are Hours of Service regulations?
Hours of Service regulations exist to protect drivers from abusive and unsafe working conditions and are applied to drivers transporting freight in vehicles greater than 3.5 metric tones and passenger transports with more than nine passengers.
Key elements of HOS 2005 regulations:- Drivers may drive up to 11 hours in the 14-hour on-duty window after they come on duty following 10 or more consecutive hours off duty.
- The 14-hour on-duty window may not be extended with off-duty time for meal and fuel stops, etc.
- The prohibition on driving after being on duty 60 hours in 7 consecutive days, or 70 hours in 8 consecutive days, remains the same, but drivers can "restart" the 7/8 day period anytime a driver has 34 consecutive hours off duty.
- CMV drivers using the sleeper berth provision must take at least 8 consecutive hours in the sleeper berth, plus 2 consecutive hours either in the sleeper berth, off duty, or any combination of the two.
