Last updated: February 28, 2026

IMPORTANT: This platform provides ASSISTANCE TOOLS ONLY. You must read and acknowledge each section below before proceeding. All final decisions, compliance responsibilities, and safety obligations remain SOLELY WITH THE DRIVER.

1. General Terms and Driver Responsibility

This platform is an assistance tool only. By using this tool, you acknowledge that:

You are a licensed commercial driver responsible for all driving, safety, and compliance decisions
These tools provide estimates and suggestions only - not authoritative compliance guidance
You must verify all calculations, routes, and recommendations independently
You remain fully responsible for compliance with all FMCSA, DOT, state, and company regulations
Your motor carrier, law enforcement, and regulatory authorities hold YOU accountable - not this tool
You will not rely solely on this tool for critical safety or compliance decisions

I understand this is an assistance tool and I retain all responsibility for my driving decisions, safety, and regulatory compliance.

2. Trip Planning and Route Tools

Trip planning tools provide route suggestions only. You acknowledge:

Route calculations may not account for truck-specific restrictions, construction, or road conditions
Timing estimates are approximations and may not reflect actual driving conditions
You must verify all routes for truck accessibility, weight limits, and height clearances
You are responsible for trip planning compliance with HOS regulations
Weather, traffic, and road conditions change constantly and must be assessed independently
Emergency contact information is provided for reference only - verify accuracy independently

I will independently verify all routes, timing, and conditions. I understand trip planning suggestions are not authoritative guidance.

3. Weight Distribution and Tandem Calculator

Weight calculations are estimates for reference only. You acknowledge:

All weight calculations must be verified by certified truck scales
Tandem sliding suggestions are approximations - actual weight shifts may vary
You must ensure compliance with federal, state, and bridge weight limits
Load securement and weight distribution remain your responsibility
Fuel and DEF weight estimates are approximations - verify actual weights
You are responsible for proper load planning and legal weight compliance

I will verify all weights at certified scales and remain responsible for weight compliance and load securement.

4. Wind Risk and Driving Condition Assessment

Safety assessments provide general guidance only. You acknowledge:

Wind risk calculations are estimates - actual conditions vary by location and time
Weather data may be delayed or inaccurate
Driving condition assessments cannot account for all local factors
You must make independent safety decisions based on current, observable conditions
Equipment-specific factors (load type, trailer height, etc.) require your professional judgment
You are responsible for determining safe operating conditions and stopping when necessary

I will make independent safety assessments and decisions. I understand weather and condition tools provide estimates only.

5. Hours of Service (HOS) and Compliance Tools

HOS tools provide reference information only. You acknowledge:

HOS calculations are for planning assistance - your Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is the legal record
Regulatory requirements change and may not be reflected immediately in these tools
State-specific variations and exemptions require independent research
You are responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable HOS regulations
Company-specific policies may be more restrictive than federal regulations
When in doubt, consult your carrier's safety department or legal requirements directly

I understand my ELD is the legal HOS record. I will verify all regulatory requirements independently.

6. Pay, Bonus, and Financial Calculations

Pay calculations are estimates for planning only. You acknowledge:

Pay calculations are based on the information you provide and may not reflect actual pay
Bonus structures, rates, and policies change and may not be current in these tools
Your carrier's payroll system is the authoritative source for pay information
Tax implications, deductions, and other factors are not calculated by these tools
Discrepancies should be resolved with your carrier's payroll or driver management
These tools do not constitute financial or tax advice

I understand pay calculations are estimates only. My carrier's payroll system is authoritative for pay information.

7. System Limitations and Data Accuracy

No system is perfect or always current. You acknowledge:

Data sources may be outdated, incomplete, or temporarily unavailable
System calculations may contain errors or bugs
Internet connectivity issues may affect tool functionality
You should not rely on this tool as your sole source of information
Critical decisions should always involve multiple information sources
System updates may change calculations or functionality without notice

I will not rely solely on this tool for critical decisions and will verify important information through multiple sources.

This tool is provided "AS IS" without warranties of any kind
