Compatibility issues between ELDs and trucks
mco replied to Trage W.'s topic in ELD Tools & Software
Yes, older trucks can sometimes struggle with certain ELD models. We had to upgrade our cab wiring to support our system. -
Garmin eLog is pretty straightforward, but it lacks some advanced features. It’s a good choice for simplicity.
-
I recommend KeepTruckin. It’s affordable for small fleets, and the interface is user-friendly.

Yes, you can transfer data, but it depends on your provider. Some make it easier than others. Check if your ELD provider supports seamless data transfers.
-
Yes, it definitely does. ELD violations fall under the Hours of Service (HOS) category, which can impact your CSA score.
-
You can use a tablet, but it needs to meet FMCSA requirements and be securely mounted in the cab.
-
Honestly, it’s a double-edged sword. The hours of service limit helps, but some drivers feel pressured by the clock.
-
We use cloud storage to back everything up, and I recommend setting alerts for any anomalies. It helps to be proactive.

I read somewhere that there are stricter rules for exemptions. It's affecting smaller fleets more than others.
