TRUCE Software

Set clear rules once, then let the system handle phone use on the road. Start in the admin console by creating profiles for each job type—drivers, crew leads, inspectors, and sales reps. For each profile, choose what stays available while the vehicle is moving (for example, turn-by-turn directions, dispatch, and a voice assistant) and what gets hidden until the vehicle is parked. Link enforcement to reliable triggers such as vehicle Bluetooth, a paired dongle, or motion sensing on the device. Add schedules so protections match shifts, and use geofences to shape behavior at job sites or yards. Roll out with a pilot: first in observe mode to validate rules, then switch to enforce for the full team. Deploy at scale with your MDM or a simple enroll-by-text flow that requires less than five minutes per user.

For a worker, the experience is simple. They sign in, start the truck, and the screen shifts into work-safe mode automatically. Notifications quiet down, nonessential apps disappear, and only allowed tools remain on the surface. Navigation, hands-free calling, barcode scan via a rugged device, or a digital dispatch board can stay active if you permit it. If the vehicle stops and remains idle for your set threshold, full access comes back with no extra steps. Need to capture photos or complete forms? Configure those to unlock only when parked, so documentation happens without risk. Emergency calls and critical alerts can be whitelisted so help is always one tap away. The system is consistent across phones and tablets, online or offline, without relying on the user to remember to enable a mode.

Supervisors work from a live dashboard. See which vehicles are in motion, who is protected, and where exceptions were requested. If a worker needs a temporary allowance—for example, to use a crane controller app inside a restricted zone—approve a time-boxed exception that auto-expires. Build micro-workflows: unlock a pre-trip checklist when the ignition turns on, prompt for delivery proof when speed reaches zero, or require a final inspection photo before clock-out. Integrate with telematics, ELD, and dispatch systems so routes, jobs, and speed data inform when and how protections engage. Use APIs to sync users and roles from your identity provider and to push events into your safety or incident tools. The result is a consistent standard in the cab that doesn’t slow the route or the crew.

Reporting turns activity into coaching. Track protected drive time, blocked interactions, and trends by route, team, or location. Flag repeat issues, measure adoption, and export summaries for safety meetings, audits, or insurance reviews. Launch with a simple change plan: announce the why, run a 15‑minute onboarding, start with an advisory week, then enable enforcement and monitor. Add quick wins like kiosk mode in the yard and a parked-only photo workflow for site documentation. Over time, refine policies by role and season, tighten rules for high-risk tasks, and prove impact with fewer incidents, reduced claims, and better on-time performance—all while keeping the day moving without manual toggles or reminders.
