Every driver has their own password to log in and i believe each tablet is assigned to a unit . Problem is with a slip seat operation with many drivers jumping in and out of trucks these isaac tablets get abused way more then a one driver one truck deal . Company likes the isaac because if you have to wait inside at customers they can still get ahold of you through the tablet because you can bring it with u . The cn container guys have either isaac or something like it and the customer has to sign their tablet when every they bring a trailer in

 

Yes CN runs Isaacs. The good ones running software 5.09. The range is only about 75-100 feet away from Cab, then the tablet loses Wifi connection. It can still be operated, and once driver returns within the trucks wifi range it will begin to transmit everything the driver did in the mean time. But if the shipper / reciever is more than 75-100 feet, you will lose communication until you are back within wifi range.

Isaacs are pretty tough, even the slip seat trucks tablets are holding up. The tablet's pens are tough but can break and are $50-60 to replace.

 

I dont think the tablet is wifi, they can connect to wifi for apps and such but it is blue tooth between truck and tablet and the tablet doesnt send to the truck the truck sends to the tablet. When I was with CAT they had Isaac and it was bluetooth truck to tablet, then cell service, 4or5g to dispatch to communicate, gps, email logs etc.

 

So I logged out yesterday, I know for a fact I did because it took about 2 minutes to log out so I wanted to make sure it logged me out.

Today I hop into another one of our trucks to bring it to the dealer, log in to go into PC mode, and it says I Have 3 violations and says i've been in driving mode for the 21 hours I was just off for. I went off duty and put in PC mode, moved the truck a few exits away and went back to my truck, logged in, and it says i've been Off Duty for the 21 hours. No violations on my logs.

Anyone ever had this happen before? Guess I should open a ticket with Isaac.

 

100% Wifi... the 'black box' has a sim card and is a hot spot. The tablet uses the android's wifi to connect to it. I've paired quite a few of these things

 

FYI, you can't legally PC to a service station, truck wash, or anything related to maintenance. It is considered in On-Duty activity in Canada.

 

Yes Isaac is wifi but my company says we can’t connect to it with things like our smart phones . that could just be there bs excuse and the real reason is we don’t want you using our wifi

 

You can use PC mode for anything you want if you don't have a trailer, except getting fuel. A truck wash isn't on duty.

 

You can connect ot it if you know the password

 

This is incorrect. Here's some snippets for you

"Things like fueling or taking the vehicle in for maintenance are not personal conveyance and must be recorded in your on-duty time." - Truck wash is considered maintenance.

"You must only be commuting to and from locations that are of a personal nature. This includes things like travel between your home or motel as well as short trips to restaurants or the grocery store. Anything that could be considered as work related, like picking up some parts for the truck is not considered personal conveyance." - Can not PC to a terminal or a customer as that would be considered positioning a CMV for the motor carrier.

Additionally you are limited to 75km a day in Canada.
