Oil and gas fleet management with an oilfield ELD.
TenTrucks brings oil and gas fleet management into one app: an oilfield ELD, real-time GPS tracking, engine-hour maintenance and IFTA fuel tax mileage.
Log oilfield work the way the rules expect.
Oilfield hours don't fit long-haul logs, so TenTrucks saves an Oil and Gas cargo type and a well-site setting with each driver's log.
- Set a 24- or 34-hour weekly reset for each driver
- Log well-site waiting as Off Duty with a note
- Build your own hours rule when no preset fits
Know how long each truck sat on the pad.
When an operator disputes standby on a ticket, the dwell time report shows how long the truck was inside the pad's geofence.
- Get geofence alerts when a truck arrives or leaves
- See time on site by truck and by location
- Send location links that expire when you choose
Service trucks by engine hours, not odometer.
Trucks idling on location barely add miles, so TenTrucks reads engine hours and fault codes straight from the truck for data-driven service.
- Plan preventive maintenance by engine hours, miles or days
- Spot idling trucks in the idle time report
- Turn fault codes and inspection defects into work orders
Keep logging where the lease has no signal.
Many leases have no coverage, so logs save on the phone first and sync when it finds a network again.
- Keep logging offline, with the phone linked to the ELD by Bluetooth
- Show the officer today and the previous 7 days
- Lock the inspection screen with an optional PIN
Cross the border without changing apps.
Crews working in Canada run under different rules, so TenTrucks includes Canada South Oil and Gas and Alberta presets.
- Give each driver a main and a backup rule set
- Switch the active rule set right in the app
- Show officers 14 days of logs on Canadian rules
Do your trucks need an ELD?
The oilfield rules change how hours are counted. In most cases they don't remove the logbook.
| Your truck or driver | ELD needed? | In plain words |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial truck over 10,000 lb hauling oilfield equipment across state lines | Yes | If the truck is used only for oilfield work, the driver can reset the week with 24 hours off instead of 34, at the end of an 8-day period. |
| Specially built well-service rig with a specially trained driver | Yes | Waiting at the well site is logged as off duty. In return, these drivers give up the local-driving exemption. |
| Local crew truck that stays near the yard | Usually no | The local-driving exemption covers drivers who stay within 150 miles of the yard, as the crow flies, and are back and done within 14 hours. They keep time records instead of logs. |
| Truck that also hauls general freight | Depends | It follows the normal rules. The oilfield 24-hour reset is only for trucks used only in oilfield work. |
| Welder's own pickup with a welding rig, on pipeline work, 15,000 lb or less | No | The hours rules don't apply when the welder owns the truck and it meets the weight limit. |
| Truck in Canada running under a provincial oil well service permit | No | A vehicle run under the permit is exempt from the Canadian ELD rule. The permit's terms are what bind you. |
General US federal rules, not legal advice. Your state may add its own, and Canada has its own rules.
What TenTrucks doesn't do
TenTrucks has no separate waiting status. Waiting goes on the log as Off Duty, as federal rules expect. The well-site setting doesn't pause any clock, so a qualifying driver's on-screen shift clock shows less time than the rule allows. TenTrucks doesn't check whether a truck or driver qualifies for the oilfield rules. There's no satellite option and no trackers for frac tanks or rig equipment.
