 QHOS
Our drivers have the advantage of using Qualcomm Hours of Service (QHOS), an electronic on-board recording (EOBR) system for electronic driver logs that’s fully compliant with the latest FMCSA rules and regulations. QHOS leverages hours of service to help maintain regulatory compliance, reduce the potential inaccuracies and risk of violations associated with manual log systems, proactively manage drivers, enhance operational efficiencies and ensure compliance through simplified, automated record-keeping.
Other features and benefits of QHOS are:
- Automatic near real-time updates about duty status, driving time and remaining hours of service
- Non-driving duty status changes entered through electronic forms on the driver display
- Automatic near real-time notification of impending or actual violations to both drivers and dispatch
- Web-based carrier review of driver status and availability
- Driver-management and safety audit reports
- Supports individual and team drivers
- Automatic response to requests for facsimile copies of records of duty status
- 24/7 hotline support for roadside inspection and audits
