What Is a Truck Driver Hours Calculator?

A truck driver hours calculator tells you how much legal work time you have left today and across the week, based on the fatigue rules you work under.

For a solo truck driver on Standard Hours, the big numbers are 12 hours' work in any 24 and 72 hours in any 7 days, with at least 24 continuous hours of stationary rest in any 7 days. Shorter windows add the 15, 30 and 60-minute breaks.

Logmaster works it out from your diary as you go. It's an NHVR approved electronic work diary that shows your time remaining and warns you before a breach, so there's nothing to calculate separately.

Hours Counted from the Cab

Logmaster takes the headache out of truck driver hours. Log as you go and the app keeps track of your limits, so you can focus on the road.
Minute-by-minute logging icon

Every minute counts

Every quarter-hour block on paper can cost you a few minutes. Logmaster logs the true minute, so the time left against your daily and weekly limits reflects what you actually worked.
Less paperwork icon

Paperwork, sorted

Each entry is a guided tap instead of a line drawn on a grid. Log sheets go to your record keeper weekly, so there's nothing to post or drop in.
Fatigue breach alert icon

Stay inside your limits

You'll get a reminder before your next break falls due, and your remaining hours stay visible all shift. That keeps the daily and weekly limits in front of you.
Offline mode icon

Offline when you need it

Long-haul runs often lose coverage for hours at a time. Logmaster keeps logging through it, saves entries on the device and uploads them once you're in range, with nothing to type again.
Drivers icon

Designed around truck work

Your location is captured when you log a work or rest event and at no other time. Logmaster doesn't follow the truck between entries or share your data without permission.

Hours Visibility for the Office

Dispatch needs to know who can legally take the next load. Logmaster shows each driver's status and upcoming limits live.

Who's got hours for the load

Check today's hours across the fleet as entries come in, and shift loads before a driver hits a limit.

Everything in one portal

Paper forms give way to digital ones, and a custom form builder covers anything particular to your trucks, all stored and searchable.

Breaches caught early

Alerts appear while the truck is still on the road, so a problem is sorted the same day.

Plan with confidence

Hand out loads knowing how many hours each driver has left, so trucks aren't stood down mid-run.

Less time training

The screens are plain and help is available, so new drivers start logging without fuss.

Your phone, approved

Truck drivers can log on their own Apple or Android phone or tablet, with no box to install behind the dash.

What Our Customers Say

Ray A.

First day with Logmaster was to my surprise was user friendly. Josh was very thorough in taking me through all the steps in setting up the Logmaster app. I would recommend Logmaster to all drivers regardless of age. Never have to worry about making a mistake as it tells you if you are. Great customer service after hours support is second to none.

Mike H.

Have started using Logmaster after trying 3 other models. I actually enjoy using it. Very easy to use and follow and the help if you need it is top notch by the developer. Does everything by the minute and works when no service is available. My system is customised for me and fits well with my system (I’m WA). Cost is on par with two of the other ones looked at.
