I guess I should have given some details about what it works look like huh.

It would have an initial manual user input requirement; what you currently have available on your 11/14/70, mileage of trip (map function is a great idea, thanks rookie!), and appointment time and date. It would calculate and give a red or green light with details for whether or not you could make the appointment time, based on the hours you have available, with DOT required breaks included. It would be programmed to give separate green if there were hours left after appointment time (with 2 hour default at appointment) to get to a truck stop after as well. It would also have the ability to send the information to dispatch via messenger or email, maybe even Qualcomm if I can manage it.

I'll have to figure out the recap issue. Didn't think about that, thank you again.

I appreciate your feedback! :)

Hey all! I am working on developing a pretrip calculator app for us truck drivers. I've only got my permit right now (training the old fashioned way, get out there and do it, with an old dog) and I've come across a lot of impatient dispatchers with load assignments wanting a yeah or neigh right now. I imagine it would be handy for freelancers as well. I could use some professional input on what other things it could/should include, and whether or not you think it would be handy. I got my start here with you guys so I think it's only fitting that I start this here.

Thanks for all your excellent advice and information I've already gotten here. Passed my permit test because of this site (the CDL practice app was a brilliant addition!!!) and I am grateful that it is available to us. Trucking truth members will get first crack at the initial app if/when I get it to market if that's ok.

700 miles and rolling...centerfold!
