The Hours Of Service System (HOSS) is Short Line Data Systems' set of tools that are designed to help your railroad cope with the new Hours of Service Laws (HSL) that were a part of the Rail Safety Act of 2008. The laws put some heavy recordkeeping responsibilities on a railroad, and the HOSS will make that part of the laws much easier. The system is designed to work with your existing paper time sheet system, and is not an electronic recordkeeping system as defined by the laws. The HOSS is designed to run on Access 2007 (either full version or runtime), and we can provide a version that will run on earlier versions of Access if needed.
The HOSS main screen contains the up-front information you need to know about your hours of service employees. The end of their last service, length of service, current rest hours, and do not contact time are all listed right next to the employees name. Additional information on the screen includes consecutive days worked, number of consecutive days of work remaining before a "six and two" situation, total limbo hours for a month, total covered hours worked for the month, and total non-covered service hours for a month. Pop up screens for work data for the current week or month are also available
A number of reports for both weekly and monthly service are available, and like all SDS products, the system can be configured to how your company does business. We will modify the system for any waivers you might have, and any changes to the interpretation of the laws that might occur. HOSS is available right now for a very low fixed monthly cost. Please contact us if you would like more information or would like to arrange an online demonstration. |
