best E Log system

Hello Ed, I'm not sure which one is "best" that might be like asking which truck is best?

I can tell you we have been on Xata with ATT support (wifi/data) for almost two years. The system is easy to use, seems to work well, doesn't have many dead spots, and MOST of our issues are driver related.

I do think they drag their feet with up dates and system changes, but I really don't have anything to compare them with.

 

Big road on any smart phone. It's not tied into your ecm and you could also "edit" when necessary

 

Rand TND 760. Doesn't need to be run through ecm. The intetface is nice.

Our employer uses this

 

A broken E log system

 

Or paper..

 

TND 760 will NOT work with 2017 Model year vehicles. in 2017 Most Manufacturers moved to a 500K ODB connector from a 250K. The Rand 760 will not work and they have no plans to support the new OBD type 2 connector. so if you plan on getting one of these consider the tractor you may be driving in a few years.
I have 4 of them I bought in the last year and now they are paper weights since I moved my drivers to 2017 Cascadia's. Oh and the new type 2 OBD was mandated in 2011 , so you would think someone there should have known that.....Their advertising doesn't state that

 

Wow, you jump started two threads with the same post. You must be heated. Sounds like a bunch of sales crap, they are probably gonna do this every couple of years so guys have to keep buying new systems. Just another thing to allow other people's hands into driver's pockets.

 

Not an elog its an app
