GeoWiz HOS4Ag (GPS)

About this app

This APP is an electronic Hours of Service Logbook that uses GPS to fill out logs. If you need an AOBRD or ELD please select our other APP GeoWiz HOS4AG, this APP is for trucks and drivers that need to keep a log book but fall outside of the FMCSA requirements for an engine connection. For example, if your truck was built before 2000.

The Geowiz HOS4AG (GPS) APP puts complete control in your hands to manage FMCSA exemption 49 CFR 395.1(k) for transporters of agriculture commodities!

The Geowiz HOS agriculture specific log book automatically fills in log notes, correctly logs hours inside the exemption and then reports as off duty, reconciles exempt driving so drivers do not have to explain exempt unassigned driving to inspectors or auditors, automatically starts recording hours of service when outside exempt areas, properly transmits only the non-exempt driving information to the FMCSA if required, and allows for agriculture exemption routing on maps so drivers can plan routes with full knowledge of where exemptions begin and end.

The system puts drivers in complete control, they can add and remove locations, and the system allows for multiple locations of commodity pick up or drop off, which roll continually onto logs until removed, all follow the posted FMCSA rules including the complex A,B,C pick-up/drop-off, en-route empty to source, return empty, and other scenarios as published.

Ratings and reviews

This is a nice slick app. You do have to put in your agriculture locations for it to work. Read Pappa D's review, he seems pretty low energy as he is describing a different app. Once you enter your locations it fills in all the notes for your log, and nicely manages the correct duty status (off-duty). The app shows a bar that tells you how far from the edge of the exemption you are, and AUTOMATICALLY starts recording logs once you cross it, or stops recording logs once you enter it.

I obviously purchased this app for AG HOS exemptions and ease of logging. There's nothing automatic about the 150 air miles radius. You can't switch to on duty upon reaching the boundaries of your radius without stopping and fumbling around with the app. Since I'm hauling livestock I don't require a half hour break, but it puts up a warning that I skipped it, that completely blocks any effort to correct it, making any editing impossible at that point. There is no phone support contact, just leave them a dead end ticket noting your frustrations. First day impressions, not at all favorable.

Okay just downloaded this app and have been playing with it for about 2 days. I'm here in Kersey Colorado hauling cows. It took me awhile to figure out what was going on which is why I give it 4 instead of 5 stars. There aren't any instructions but what you have to do is you have to drop in your location and once you do that it turns my regular log book into an an agriculture book. I called and talked to Ethan who Explains It All To Me. Good-looking logs and it puts notes on all my duty lines which is cool. Recommended.
