Note: TRUCE is intended for enterprise customers and is not intended for consumer use.

Keep your workers safe by preventing distracted driving and other dangerous behaviors based on context. While driving a company vehicle, TRUCE automatically turns on Do Not Disturb while driving and shows a simplified user interface. TRUCE will allow calls from approved numbers (such as dispatch), while blocking calls from unapproved numbers, and playing an audible alert with the caller's name or number read aloud, so the driver knows to call them back when they stop driving or to pull over and call them back immediately based on who is calling. TRUCE will read aloud incoming text messages, and automatically respond to text messages and let others know that you are driving distraction free, but their messages are still getting through.

TRUCE Distracted Driving works by placing beacons inside company vehicles. TRUCE detects when in a moving vehicle and collects location data, to determine how fast the vehicle is moving. Therefore, TRUCE requires background location both to collect GPS samples, and to scan for Bluetooth Low Energy beacons. Location data may be sent to our servers to help improve our product and troubleshoot issues with moving vehicle detection. Also, location data may be sent to our servers to support Drive Performance features.

Administrators may log in to our enterprise management console to manage devices. Devices are identified by the associated phone number. During installation users will be prompted to enter their phone number in order to log in to TRUCE.
