THE IDEA: What is the problem being solved by your startup / business?:
HOS247 addresses the critical challenge of ensuring compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) regulations for truckers and fleet managers. The solution simplifies the process of accurately tracking, managing, and reporting driver logs to prevent violations and penalties.

Motivated by the desire to create a solution that not only ensured compliance but also improved the daily operations of trucking companies, we began to conceptualize a user-friendly, reliable electronic logging device (ELD) system. The vision was clear: to offer a product that bridged the gap between regulatory requirements and operational efficiency, supported by unparalleled customer service.
Drawing from past entrepreneurial experiences and the shared frustrations of many in the trucking community, we embarked on the journey of developing the HOS247 ELD.

These customers are typically located across North America, primarily the United States.
