The Geowiz HOS4AG APP puts complete control in your hands to manage FMCSA exemption 49 CFR 395.1(k) for transporters of agriculture commodities! This agriculture specific version of the award-winning hours of service product, Geowiz, completely automates the entire 49 CFR 395.1(k) process, creating clear hours of service logs to meet the requirements of Electronic Logging Devices (ELD), Automatic On-board Recording Devices (AOBRD), and GPS only electronic logbooks. The Geowiz HOS agriculture specific log book automatically fills in log notes, correctly logs hours inside the exemption and then reports as off duty, reconciles exempt driving so drivers do not have to explain exempt unassigned driving to inspectors or auditors, automatically starts recording hours of service when outside exempt areas, properly transmits only the non-exempt driving information to the FMCSA if required, and allows for agriculture exemption routing on maps so drivers can plan routes with full knowledge of where exemptions begin and end. The system puts drivers in complete control, they can add and remove locations, and the system allows for multiple locations of commodity pick up or drop off, which roll continually onto logs until removed, all follow the posted FMCSA rules including the complex A,B,C pick-up/drop-off, en-route empty to source, return empty, and other scenarios as published.

Read full description

The LoadView platform provides driver and carrier data from Koch’s proprietary loading automation systems to create assignments for drivers–– all through a mobile app: Drivers securely sign in to their LoadView app with their phone number and a four-digit code--- no messy username or password needed. The LoadView app immediately notifies drivers of pending assignments from carriers, including assignment details such as site information and required training. Drivers now can say goodbye to getting out of their trucks at the site to check in, with the LoadView precheck in feature prior to arriving at the terminal. After picking up and delivering a load, drivers can communicate with dispatch by simply marking the assignment as complete. Carriers are then notified that the delivery is complete, and the driver is available for another assignment.

Verdict

The call

GeoWiz HOS4Ag and LoadView both sit at 3.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 60% of GeoWiz HOS4Ag's written reviews are positive against 22% of LoadView's. GeoWiz HOS4Ag also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). LoadView's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (28 vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
