PRICING
One number. One unit. No hardware to buy, no multi-year contract, no setup fees.
Not per bus. Not per seat. Not per inspection. Twenty dollars per driver, billed monthly. A district with twenty-five drivers pays $500/month. A district with fifty drivers pays $1,000/month. The math is supposed to fit in your head — because the budget conversation you're going to have with your superintendent is supposed to fit on one line.
What's included at $20/driver/month:
- Unlimited buses, supervisors, and mechanics on the account
- Pre-trip and post-trip electronic DVIRs, FMCSA-compliant
- Real-time defect alerts to your mechanic via SMS and email
- Mechanic dashboard with full defect lifecycle (New → In Progress → Parts Ordered → Out-of-Service → Clear)
- Out-of-Service lockout — drivers can't operate a flagged bus
- Auto-generated per-bus DVIR dossier emailed to the supervisor on the 1st of every month
- Versioned legal attestation under ESIGN Act + 49 CFR § 390.32
- Your own Google Sheet, owned by your district, with every inspection logged forever
Minimum: 5-driver minimum ($100/month entry point). Districts smaller than 5 drivers — get in touch, we'll talk.
PAY ANNUALLY, SAVE A MONTH
Districts that prepay 12 months up front get 10% off — effectively one month free. For a 25-driver district that's $600 saved per year, and it removes a recurring purchase order from your A/P queue. We send one invoice in July (or whenever fits your fiscal year), you cut one check, and the system runs for twelve months.
No price-lock games. No automatic renewal until you sign for the next year. The same $20/driver/month rate applies whether you prepay or pay monthly — the discount comes off the top.
THE COMPARISON, WITH HONEST CAVEATS
The other DVIR products on the market — Zonar, Samsara, Whip Around, KeepTruckin and similar — typically run somewhere between $25 and $60 per bus per month, plus a hardware bundle (telematics units, cradles, sometimes a dedicated tablet), plus a multi-year contract. Setup fees and per-driver license fees are common. The total first-year cost for a 25-bus district running one of those systems lands in the $15,000–$35,000 range depending on tier.
Important caveat: these competitor numbers come from customer-reported displacement pricing — what districts told us they were paying before they switched. We have not independently quoted the competitors. If you're comparing One-Touch DVIR against a specific vendor's current pricing, get a fresh quote from them and compare apples to apples.
For context: at Okanogan School District, Larry Scroggins displaced a prior tool that was billing him $30 per seat per month. He moved his roster to One-Touch DVIR at $20 per driver per month and removed the hardware line item entirely. That's one named district, one named supervisor, one displacement story — repeatable for any district willing to make the switch.
NO HIDDEN LINE ITEMS
- No hardware. Drivers use their existing phones. Supervisors and mechanics use the laptop or phone they already have.
- No setup fees. We provision your district's instance and walk you through the launch at no additional cost.
- No per-driver license fees. Add a new driver, retire a driver, swap a sub — the price doesn't change.
- No multi-year contract. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Your data stays in your sheet either way.
- No data hostage policy. Your Google Sheet is yours. If you ever leave, you keep every row of every inspection log forever — no export fees, no "professional services" charges, no archive subscriptions.
- No upsell to a "compliance module" or a "reports module." Compliance and reporting are the entire point of the product. They're in the base price.
HOW TO GET STARTED
- Email bob@ramventuresolutions.com or call 509-429-9805 and say which district you are and roughly how many buses you run.
- We'll send a one-page agreement that names the bus count, the start date, and the billing cadence.
- Once it's signed, we provision your Google Sheet and Apps Script instance — usually within 48 hours.
- We walk your supervisor through PIN setup for your drivers (about 30 minutes).
- Drivers download the app to their home screen on day one. Most districts are doing real inspections inside of a week.
No procurement runaround. No "implementation consultant." You will talk to Bob, who drives a school bus, and Bob will be the person who answers your support emails.
PRICING FAQ
Pricing is per driver because compliance is per driver. Each inspection is tied to a specific person through their PIN signature, creating a legally defensible record under federal eDVIR rules. One driver, one signature, one audit trail — that's what you're buying. It also means you're not paying for empty seats; you pay for the people who actually sign.
Existing customers stay at the rate they signed at. We will not retroactively raise prices on a deployed customer. If we ever raise standard pricing, current customers are grandfathered at their original rate for as long as their account is active.
Yes. Most districts pilot for 30 days at no charge with 1–3 buses before deciding to roll out to the full fleet. Tell us "pilot" in your first email and we'll set it up. After the pilot the price is what's on this page — no surprise "implementation fee" at the end.
