# Compliance Data Summary: Hours of Service and Inspection Status on the Live Map

A dispatcher assigning a load needs to know two things the live map does not show: how many driving hours the driver has left, and whether the truck's inspection is current. Compliance Data Summary puts both on the map, beside the vehicle, so the assignment is made with the compliance picture in view rather than discovered at the roadside.

## The Assignment Made Blind

The live map shows where every truck is. It does not show that the driver in the nearest one has ninety minutes left on their fourteen-hour window, or that the truck's DVIR flagged a defect this morning that has not been signed off. The dispatcher assigns the load to the nearest truck, the driver takes it because that is the job, and the violation or the out-of-service order happens two hundred kilometres later. Compliance Data Summary is a MyGeotab add-in that puts the hours and inspection status on the map beside each vehicle.

## What It Shows

For each vehicle on the map: the logged-in driver, their remaining driving and on-duty time under the ruleset they are running, their next required break, and whether they are approaching a limit; and the vehicle's inspection status — last DVIR, any open defects, and whether a pre-trip has been completed today. The values come from the ELD and DVIR data the Drive app already records. A vehicle with a driver near a limit or an open defect is coloured so the dispatcher sees it before opening anything.

## What Changes

Loads go to trucks whose drivers can legally complete them. Trucks with open defects are routed to the shop rather than to the customer. Violations that used to be discovered in the weekly HOS report are prevented at assignment. And the roadside inspection that finds a driver over hours on a load the fleet assigned that morning stops being a story the safety manager tells.

## Setup

The add-in requires the fleet to be running Geotab Drive for ELD and DVIR; it reads those records and needs nothing else. High Point GPS installs it as part of ELD deployments for carriers in Quebec, Ontario and the northeastern US, configured for the Canadian and US rulesets the fleet runs.

## FAQ

### What is Compliance Data Summary?

A MyGeotab add-in that shows each vehicle's driver hours-of-service status and inspection status on the live map, so dispatch assigns loads with the compliance picture in view.

### Where does the data come from?

From the ELD and DVIR records in Geotab Drive; no extra hardware or driver input.

### Does it work with Canadian and US rules?

Yes. Remaining hours are shown under whichever ruleset the driver is running.

### Does it prevent violations?

It prevents the ones caused by assigning a load to a driver who cannot legally complete it, which is most of the avoidable ones.

### Does it show open DVIR defects?

Yes. A vehicle with an unresolved defect is flagged on the map.
