A dash light is the cheapest part of a breakdown.
By the time a truck is parked on the shoulder, you are already paying. Here is what the old way costs you, before anyone fixes a single thing.
A heavy-duty tow runs several hundred dollars on its own, before a tech has even looked at the engine.
Then you wait for an open bay, and pay a diagnostic fee just to read a code you could have read yourself.
Every day it sits, the truck payment, the driver and the missed load still come due. A parked Class 8 earns nothing.
A code clears, the underlying issue does not, and you pay the entire bill a second time a few weeks later.
Everyone else either reports the problem or charges you to handle it
A dealer can handle it, on their schedule and their invoice. A cheap scanner reads a code but cannot act. Telematics tracks the truck but cannot touch the engine. OTR is the one that both tells you what is wrong and helps you fix the problem.

From fault to fixed, without the truck leaving the lot
This is the part a generic dongle cannot do. Watch a real fault move from triggered to resolved.
- 01
The fault triggers
The engine ECM throws an SPN and FMI code. On a normal day, this is the moment a dash light appears and the guessing begins.
- 02
OTR reads it instantly
The device reads the exact fault. For fleets, the cellular unit pushes it to your dashboard the second it happens, 24/7.
- 03
You act, remotely
Force a DPF regen, clear the derate, or decide drive versus repair. From your phone or the dashboard, no bay required.
- 04
The driver keeps rolling
What would have been a multi-day dealer wait is handled in minutes. The load arrives, the truck keeps earning.
What the old way is costing you per year
Adjust the sliders to your operation. This is a conservative estimate of what you spend on dealer diagnostics and recoverable downtime, the money OTR is built to keep in your pocket.
Estimate only, based on the figures you enter. A fleet specialist can build a precise model from your actual downtime and dealer history.
Switching is the safe move, not the gamble
You are not handing your trucks to a faceless app. OTR is built, sold and supported by one team, and 10,500 trucks already run it every day.
Real support from Detroit
A help center, full manuals and a phone line that reaches the people who build the product. Visit the help center.
Made and assembled in-house
Designed, built and assembled in Detroit. Not a reseller drop-shipping a generic box with a sticker on it.
10,500+ already on it
With 600+ Google reviews, you are not the test case. You are joining an operation thousands of drivers already trust.
A membership you control
Manage or change your plan when you need to. Manage membership on your terms.
Find the fault. Fix it. Keep rolling.
One truck or a whole fleet, the math is the same. Stop paying the breakdown tax. Pick the path that fits how you run.
