Hours of service alerts

When you plan a trip, MoveBoard splits the stops into days the driver can legally drive, and warns you when a plan goes over. These are planning alerts — never a claim of DOT hours-of-service compliance. The driver's ELD is the legal record.

How the days are planned

MoveBoard plans each day for:

• at most 11 hours of driving
• a 14-hour on-duty day — loading and unloading count as on duty, so a long load day leaves less driving
• a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving
• 10 hours of rest between days

An alert shows only where a day you set by hand forces more than that.

See it on the trip

Open the trip and the Crew & Equipment tab. Driver & hours planning lists every trip day with its Planned driving, On duty and Breaks, and an Alert when the day goes over. The numbers turn red when a day has more than 11 hours of driving or more than 14 hours on duty. Driver not assigned. shows until the trip has a driver.

With a co-driver on the trip the truck can run longer days; each driver's own hours still count.

Over-limit days also show in the trip's Needs Attention, for example "Day 2: 11.5 h of planned driving (over 11 h) — a planning alert, not an HOS check".

The week across trips

Under the days, Hours over the week adds up each driver's on-duty hours in the days up to the trip's last day — this trip's plan plus their other trips. It warns when a driver goes over your cycle, for example "Rick: 72 h on duty in the 8 days to 2026-10-09 (over 70 h)".

A whole calendar day off counts as the 34-hour restart: the count starts again after it.

Choose the cycle

Your drivers run either 60 hours / 7 days or 70 hours / 8 days. Pick it under Trips › Trailers & settings, Drivers' hours-of-service cycle (planning alerts across trips), and press Save. Until you choose, MoveBoard uses 70 hours / 8 days.
