DriveSlate · Pre-launch waitlist
EXIT 59

Your whiteboard can't text parents.

DriveSlate will handle online booking, prepaid packages, and parent reminders for driving schools — and it knows every lesson needs a student, an instructor, and a car.

Early access — next right ↳ ENTER

We're building DriveSlate now. The waitlist gets the first pilot slots and the founding rate.

§ 2 — Hazards ahead

The whiteboard fails in three dimensions

Double-booked instructor ahead
Car #2 in two places at once
Lesson 13 of 20 — or was it 14?
One student · one instructor · one car — zero conflicts

Generic booking tools schedule people and forget the car. But the car is the constraint that breaks the whiteboard — and it's the one thing nobody else thinks to book.

§ 3 — The toll schedule

What the current routes cost

Toll schedule — current routes
DRIVE SCOUT$50 / USER / MO · 5-USER MIN

Before you renew, do the math. A 4-instructor school shouldn't pay a per-seat toll just to put its own schedule online.

§ 4 — What we're building

The handbook figures

Here's how the product will work, drawn the way the manual would draw it. Every figure is still on the drawing board — stamped accordingly.

Planned LESSON SLOT STUDENT CAR INSTRUCTOR
Fig 1 — Right-of-way at booking

Booking will refuse a conflict the way an intersection refuses two cars in one lane — no slot opens unless a student, an instructor, and a car are all free.

Planned 12/20 LESSONS USED 0 20
Fig 2 — Package tracking

Prepaid packages will count themselves down, slot by slot. Parents can check what's left without calling the office.

Planned −24 H Lesson tomorrow, 4:00 PM pickup. Reply C to confirm.
Fig 3 — Parent reminders

A text will go out 24 hours before pickup, automatically. Fewer no-shows, and fewer 7 a.m. calls to the office.

Instructors down the side, hours across the top, the right car assigned to every slot — the whole school on one board, no eraser required.

§ 6 — The written test

Answers, in plain English

Q1.

When does it launch?

It's in active development — no live product yet. Schools on the waitlist get the first pilot slots and help shape what ships first.

Q2.

What do I get for signing up?

First pilot slots, the founding rate locked for life, and a vote on which features we build first. Nothing to pay and nothing to commit.

Q3.

Can parents book online, or do they call us?

Both. Online booking is the whole point — but the office phone keeps working for everything else.

Q4.

Does it track state-required hours?

Planned. Hour logs vary by state, so tell us yours when you join and we'll build for it.

Q5.

What about road tests and behind-the-wheel vs. classroom?

Different lesson types are planned from day one — behind-the-wheel, classroom, and road tests each get their own rules.

Q6.

Do instructors need training?

If they can read a road sign, they can read DriveSlate. That's the bar we're building to.
