The Paper Problem

Paper Logbooks Are Killing Your Efficiency

Manual logs are incomplete, inaccurate, and impossible to analyze

Operators Don't Fill Them Out

Paper logs get skipped, rushed, or filled in days later from memory. You have no idea if the data is accurate because there's no verification

Records Get Lost or Destroyed

Paper logs disappear, get damaged by weather, or lost during equipment transfers. Years of maintenance history gone when you need it most

Manual Entry Wastes Hours

15 minutes daily per machine to fill out logbooks. For a 50-unit fleet, that's 12.5 hours of operator time wasted daily on paperwork

Smart Templates

Equipment-Specific Logbook Templates

Excavator logbooks track bucket hours and swing cycles. Dump truck logs capture loads and payload weights. Generator logs monitor runtime and load percentages. Each asset type gets the right fields.

No more generic forms that don't match your equipment. HVI provides custom logbook layouts designed specifically for excavators, dump trucks, dozers, loaders, cranes, generators, and every other equipment type in your fleet.

  • Custom fields for each equipment category
  • Track equipment-specific metrics (bucket hours, swing cycles, load counts)
  • Hydraulic temps, coolant levels, tire pressures by equipment type
  • Conditional logic shows only relevant fields

Electronic Logbook FAQ

An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is a technology that automatically records driving time and hours of service (HOS) for commercial motor vehicle drivers. HVI's ELD solution connects to your vehicle's engine to track driving hours, ensuring compliance with FMCSA regulations while eliminating paper logbooks. It's required by federal law for most commercial drivers.

Yes, HVI is fully compliant with FMCSA ELD mandate (49 CFR Part 395.8). Our system meets all technical specifications including automatic recording, driver authentication, data transfer capabilities, and malfunction diagnostics. We're registered with FMCSA and provide all required documentation for roadside inspections and DOT audits.

HVI automatically tracks driving time, on-duty hours, and rest periods in real-time. The system sends alerts to drivers before they approach violation thresholds (11-hour driving limit, 14-hour on-duty limit, 30-minute break requirement, and 70-hour weekly limit). Dispatchers can also monitor driver status to prevent violations before they occur.

Yes, HVI supports all required methods for transferring logs to enforcement officials during roadside inspections. Drivers can transfer logs via web portal, email, USB drive, or Bluetooth. The system provides 8 days of logs instantly, and all data is timestamped and tamper-proof for compliance verification.

Yes, HVI automatically tracks miles per jurisdiction using GPS coordinates and records fuel purchases by state. At quarter-end, generate complete IFTA reports with one click - no manual calculations or spreadsheets needed. The system calculates tax owed per state and exports directly to IFTA filing systems, reducing filing time by 90%.

HVI requires a small ELD device that plugs into your vehicle's diagnostic port (OBD-II or J1939) and a smartphone or tablet for the driver. The hardware connects to the HVI mobile app via Bluetooth. We provide the ELD device, and drivers can use their existing Android or iOS devices. Installation takes less than 5 minutes with no tools required.
