Hey Tru Load: The Voice Assistant Built for Truck Drivers

Every year, 5,700 people die in truck crashes in the United States (FMCSA). Distracted driving is a leading contributor, and phone use behind the wheel is one of the biggest sources of distraction. But truck drivers need their phones — to check HOS, scan receipts, update loads, find fuel, and manage their business. TRU LOAD solves this with 31 voice commands that let you do everything hands-free, eyes on the road, in under 2 seconds per command.

How TRU LOAD Voice Works

1

Wake Word: “Hey Tru Load”

The wake word runs on-device with near-zero battery impact. It activates listening mode without you touching your phone. Works through truck cab noise, Bluetooth, and even with the window down.

2

Trucking-Trained AI

Unlike Siri or Alexa, TRU LOAD understands trucking context. “Check my hours” means HOS. “Find fuel” means diesel at truck stops. “Scan receipt” activates the AI receipt scanner. No confusion, no wrong answers.

3

Spoken Response Under 2 Seconds

TRU LOAD speaks back the result: “You have 6 hours and 12 minutes of drive time remaining.” Or: “Fuel receipt logged: $187 at Pilot in Dallas. Right?” Confirm with “yes” or correct with voice. Eyes never leave the road.

Sample Voice Conversation

YOU“Hey Tru Load, how many hours do I have left?”
TRU LOAD“You have 6 hours and 12 minutes of drive time. Your 14-hour window ends at 10:47 PM. Need a 30-minute break by 3:15 PM.”
YOU“Hey Tru Load, I just fueled at Love’s for $212.”
TRU LOAD“Got it. Fuel expense: $212 at Love’s in Oklahoma City. IFTA updated for Oklahoma. Scan the receipt at your next stop?”
YOU“Yes.”
TRU LOAD“Reminder set. I will ask you to scan when you stop.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it work in a noisy cab?+

Yes. TRU LOAD's voice recognition is trained specifically on truck cab audio environments — engine noise, road noise, wind noise, CB radio chatter, and more. It uses advanced noise cancellation and achieves 97% recognition accuracy in typical truck cab conditions. It works with your phone's built-in mic or through Bluetooth speakers.

Do I need an internet connection for voice commands?+

Most voice commands work offline using on-device processing. Receipt scanning, load updates, and broker lookups require an internet connection, but the voice interface queues commands when offline and executes them when connectivity returns. Essential commands like HOS check and DVIR work fully offline.

Can I use it with my Bluetooth headset?+

Yes. TRU LOAD works with any Bluetooth audio device — headsets, truck speakers, earbuds, and hands-free car kits. The "Hey Tru Load" wake word works through Bluetooth just like it does through the phone's mic.

How is this different from Siri or Google Assistant?+

Siri and Google are general-purpose assistants that know nothing about trucking. TRU LOAD understands trucking-specific context: HOS rules, IFTA jurisdictions, detention policies, CDL requirements, and the 50,000+ truck stops and facilities in the US. When you say "scan receipt," it knows to activate the receipt scanner. When you say "check my hours," it knows you mean HOS driving hours, not the time.

Is it safe to use while driving?+

TRU LOAD is designed for eyes-free, hands-free operation. You never need to look at or touch your phone. The "Hey Tru Load" wake word activates listening, and all responses are spoken aloud. This is fundamentally safer than any phone-based interaction. Studies show voice-only interfaces reduce crash risk by 80% compared to visual-manual phone use (Virginia Tech Transportation Institute).
