The ESSE Driver App — ELD, DVIR, and Everything a Driver Needs. Built by Carriers, for Carriers.

Real-time drive, shift, and 70-hour cycle clock on the main screen. Drivers see exactly how much time they have before a required break.

One-tap duty status changes: Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, Driving, On Duty Not Driving. Status changes are timestamped and logged automatically to the ELD record.

24-hour bar graph of today's duty status changes, plus an 8-day recap showing total hours and available hours for each day of the current cycle.

Full pre-trip inspection checklist covering all FMCSA-required vehicle systems. Drivers check each item, note defects, and sign off before moving.

End-of-day post-trip DVIR with defect reporting and photo documentation. Completed DVIRs are stored on the unit record for fleet review.

Attach photos to DVIR defect reports, load documents (BOL, POD, lumper receipts), and driver profiles directly from the phone camera.

Location updates sent every 30 seconds. Fleet managers see real-time truck position on the map in the company portal.

Full load information in the app: pickup address, delivery address, appointment times, commodity, weight, broker contact, rate confirmation number, and special instructions.

Drivers update load status (dispatched, picked up, in transit, delivered) from the app. Status changes update the load record in real time.

Tap the map from the dashboard to see your current location, nearby load stops, and recent GPS track.

Drivers view and update their profile information, emergency contacts, and license details from the app.

Real-time two-way messaging with dispatch. Text and photo attachments. Unread count badge on the Messages tab. Messages auto-refresh every 15 seconds. Message types include load updates, HOS alerts, and system notices.

Upload CDL, medical certificate, insurance, rate con, and other driver documents from the phone. Categories are tracked per driver record. Expiration dates are visible in the driver portal.

Log fuel stops from the app: gallons, price per gallon, total cost (auto-calculated), odometer reading, location, and fuel type (diesel, DEF, or other). Running totals by period are visible in the app.

Map of nearby truck stops, weigh stations, and rest areas. Filter by type. Tap a pin to see the name, address, and amenities. Tap Navigate to open Apple Maps with driving directions.

Connects to Geometris ELD hardware via Bluetooth Low Energy. Reads VIN, engine RPM, odometer, speed, and engine on/off state in real time. Data feeds HOS auto-detection and the ELD record. Auto-reconnects if the connection drops.

Geometris hardware detects hard braking events. The app sends a push notification alert to the driver and logs the event. Notifications are throttled to one alert per 60 seconds to avoid alarm fatigue.

Drivers submit internal support tickets directly from the app — pay questions, equipment issues, document requests. Tickets are tracked by ID (e.g. TICK-001) with open/closed status visible in the app.

Generate and share ELD log reports directly from the app. Exports in FMCSA-compliant PDF format per 49 CFR §395.8, including USDOT 4323811, MC 1687368, ELD ID ERS238, driver name, daily hours table, and period totals. Also exports as plain text. iOS share sheet.

Visual bar chart showing hours driven each day for the past 8 days. Helps drivers track their 70-hour/8-day cycle at a glance from the dashboard without opening the full HOS log.

When driving, the app displays a Live Activity on the iPhone lock screen and Dynamic Island showing remaining drive time and shift time — visible without unlocking the phone.
