About this app

VisTracks™ Hours of Services is a powerful but easy to use tablet-based service certified with US Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations for electronic logs and vehicle inspections. Regulations for electronic driving and vehicle inspection logs have become commonplace to ensure the veracity of driver tablet input and ensured compliance with regulations. VisTracks Hours of Service is compliant with federal and state regulations as well as Canadian regulations.

VisTracks Hours of Service is designed to be sold by those companies which sell software and other products and services to fleets large and small. VisTracks Hours of Service is not sold directly to end customers, and is completely white-labelled. Its feature set and ease of use makes it the ideal product to both retain existing customers, or avoid significant development expense and time to market in developing such a product set.

A key differentiator for VisTracks Hours of Service is the ability to support numerous Android tablet brands. An owner-operator, for example, can purchase an inexpensive Android tablet or use his/her smartphone and be fully compliant using VisTracks Hours of Service. In addition, several ELD hardware brands are supported, including name brands such as CalAmp, Geometris, and Digi as well as other brands throughout a broad price range. Most other Hours of Service vendors require the customer to purchase custom hardware which is expensive and difficult to upgrade. VisTracks Hours of Service provides total flexibility for hardware selection and monetary investment.

Other differentiators include:

- Enhanced and Customized Inspections
- Unlike other providers, out portal’s log grid clearly shows violations
- Slip Seat and Team Driving
- Offline support – disconnected operation
- Automatic retry for loss of connectivity with the ELD
- Two-way integration of portal edits with the device including full edit logging
- Fully integrated portal backend for driver dashboard at home office, feature rich, fully synchronized with tablet and all HOS product options
- Ability to control tablet settings from the portal, such as disabling driver log edits on the tablet by the driver
- Ability to filter log edit reports on portal by consistent codes from a drop down menu—not available on other products which only support free-form entries of reasons for an edit which are difficult to sort by and track
- Easy to use, minimal training required, on-screen documentation to minimize errors and support costs
- Easy to use administration tools for account, vehicle and driver management
- IFTA
In addition:
- Mobile Worker – mobile work orders and job assignments

Ratings and reviews

Won't stay connected to the truck for more than 5 minutes and it doesn't know my location, even though i've checked my location settings multiple times. I even uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Edit: 2/7/2020: The app works a lot better now with less issues. It still has its moments where it will not sync with full cell service and it doesn't know your location or doesn't have one at all, but for the most part if you do everything to connect in the right order it works fine.

This app has been a beta test for 3 years. It's terrible. It barely runs, it's a constant nightmare for my entire team. Crashes and closes. Some guys, it doesn't even open, it constantly disconnects, it leaves guys in driving when it's supposed to be "automatic" status changing. It's just bad I'm sorry for you if you've been stuck with this app because it's what your company is using.

I find myself having to wait a full minute to change my status from on duty not driving to break. There have been times where this app even reverted back to on duty without me ending the break. I find myself having to wait five to ten minutes to change my status to off duty at the end of the day. This app is inconveniencing me as a driver. And I'm sure it would put me at great risk once transport enforcement begins fining drivers for log book violations. The developers must fix this.
