HaulGuard AI ("HaulGuard", "we", "us") provides a software service that uses artificial intelligence to read hazmat shipping documents (Bills of Lading, Hazmat Manifests, EPA forms) and produce decision-support output: extracted material lists, recommended placards with cited regulatory sections, segregation warnings, and a tamper-evident audit ledger of the driver's attestations.
HaulGuard's output is compliance-assistance documentation, not legal advice. Every determination cites the regulatory section it derived from (49 CFR Parts 171–180, primarily). The driver and motor carrier remain solely responsible for verifying every determination against their physical shipping papers and applicable regulations.
Under 49 CFR 172.500 and related sections, the offeror, motor carrier, and the driver as the carrier's agent bear ultimate responsibility for the correctness of placard placement, segregation, route selection, and all other regulatory requirements applicable to a hazmat load. HaulGuard does not assume any portion of that responsibility.
The "verify" attestations a driver records in HaulGuard's audit ledger are the driver's own statements. They become part of the audit-trail evidence package HaulGuard generates, but they do not transfer compliance liability from the driver or carrier to HaulGuard.
HaulGuard's value proposition is the audit trail: a clean, tamper-evident record of what the driver attested to at scan time, the regulatory reasoning HaulGuard's engine cited, and the credentials the driver presented (CDL fields captured by OCR). This audit trail is intended to support the driver and carrier in DOT inspections.
HaulGuard does not indemnify, insure, or otherwise guarantee any specific outcome of any inspection, citation, civil penalty, criminal charge, or civil lawsuit. The audit trail is documentation; it is not a bond, surety, or insurance product. No statement in this Service or its marketing should be read as a guarantee of inspection success.

See our Privacy Policy (forthcoming) for the full statement. Summary: we collect what we need to deliver the Service (account details, scanned document contents, CDL fields you choose to capture), we encrypt at rest and in transit, and we do not sell your data.
CDL images you capture are processed by Claude Vision OCR and the extracted text is recorded in your audit ledger. We do not store the physical CDL photograph after extraction.
Subscriptions and per-scan packs are billed through Stripe. Subscription plans are charged monthly. Per-scan packs are one-time purchases that remain on your account until used.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
