A full-stack ELD trip planning application for commercial truck drivers. Enter your trip details and RouteHaul calculates your route, schedules mandatory HOS (Hours of Service) rest stops, fueling stops, and generates filled-out daily ELD log sheets — all in one place.

What It Does

Commercial truck drivers are bound by federal HOS regulations — 11-hour driving limits, 30-minute break requirements, 10-hour rest periods, and a 70-hour/8-day cycle cap. RouteHaul automates all of that math.

You enter four inputs:

• Current location
• Pickup location
• Drop-off location
• Current cycle hours used

RouteHaul gives you back:

• An interactive map with your full route plotted, including all stops
• A breakdown of every stop — rest, fuel, pickup, drop-off — with timing
• Multiple ELD daily log sheets drawn out for the entire trip duration
