TLWS DOT Tools

Free DOT tools built for working drivers.

Reference tools, planning aids, and roadside resources are being carefully reviewed against current official sources before release.

Independent verification in progress

The HOS Calculator is live below. The remaining tools are not available yet — TLWS is verifying their regulatory sources, calculations, wording, privacy protections, and legal disclosures before launch.

HOS Calculator result panel: split status valid, HOS time available yes, usable driving time 5:00 limited by the drive clock, and three clocks reading drive available 5:00, 14-hour available 7:00, cycle available 33:00.
The HOS Calculator, live: a 7/3 split checked from the quick-start preset. Planning and education only — not an ELD.

Planned tools

What’s on the way

The HOS Calculator is live. Every other tool stays offline until its sources, wording, and disclosures are reviewed.

Already live elsewhere on the site: truck parking near me — free and overnight parking by state, interstate and exit — and the HOS-aware trip planner.

Built from official sources

Checked against the record

As each tool is prepared, its facts are verified against official government sources. Trucking Life With Shawn is an independent educational brand and is not a government agency.

Reference material only — not legal advice. These tools are still in preparation and are not yet available.
