  1. We installed KeepTruckin ourselves, and it was straightforward. No professional installation was needed.
  2. We use Samsara, which sends real-time alerts directly to our drivers’ devices when they’re approaching a violation.
  3. KeepTruckin works offline and syncs when a connection is available, which has been useful for our rural routes.
  4. We’ve been happy with Samsara’s security protocols. They encrypt all data and have regular updates.
  5. We use Omnitracs. It handles multi-driver logging well and simplifies shift changes.
  6. In my experience, Samsara’s GPS tracking is very accurate, down to the exact location of the truck.
  7. We use BigRoad. It provides detailed reports on HOS, driving patterns, and violations.
  8. Samsara integrates well with fleet management systems, and we’ve had no issues.
  9. Samsara has been great for us. Their support team is responsive, and they offer 24/7 assistance.
  10. KeepTruckin is very straightforward and easy to use, especially for drivers who are new to ELDs.
  11. Regular training and audits are key. We also run weekly compliance reports to catch any discrepancies.
  12. We make sure each driver logs in and out when they switch shifts, and we regularly audit logs to catch any errors.
  13. We limit personal conveyance to specific scenarios, like driving from a hotel to a restaurant, and make sure drivers understand the rules.
  14. If they meet the short-haul exemption, they don’t need ELDs, but you still have to track hours manually.
  15. Our ELD system has a specific “yard move” status that we activate when trucks are being moved onsite.
  16. Fines can be hefty, especially for recurring violations. You can also face audits or vehicle out-of-service orders.
  17. Drivers can make edits, but you need to review and approve them. Make sure to document why the change was made.
  18. We do one-on-one training and follow up with refresher sessions every quarter.
  19. I recommend KeepTruckin. It’s affordable and easy to use for smaller operations.
  20. We track it daily and assign it manually to the driver if we know who was responsible.
  21. We audit weekly and focus on unassigned driving time, off-duty statuses, and any discrepancies.
  22. Unassigned drive time has been a challenge for us. It’s hard to keep track of who’s driving sometimes.
  23. Dispatchers need to be more mindful of hours of service, so we’ve had to rethink some routes to make sure drivers aren’t running out of time.
  24. I’ve found that investing in an easy-to-use ELD system helps. KeepTruckin has been reliable for me.
  25. A lot of drivers think ELDs will cut into their pay, but we’ve shown them how better compliance can actually reduce downtime.
