ELD for Ram pick-ups anyone?

I have been using the EZ-ELD by Stoneridge over a month and hate it.
The app always crashes and logs you out. Stop too long at a light, and move again and it beeps at me.

Have an AT&T Big Road coming after the holidays to try out.

 

You should reconsider the RM overdryve 8 . I have had it for 3 months now , it sucks . If you use the xm radio the mount will overheat , then the pins that make the connection will get weak as the springs in them heat up . When that happens it stops charging the battery. RM replaced my mount with another that does the same thing . Several other glitches .

 

I hate my RM Overdrive!

Dash cam is junk! Had to buy another real dash cam.

Could not use the ELD to link to my Ram 5500, even tho RM said it would with an adapter. Had to buy another ELD.

Should have bought a GPS for 1/2 the price.

 

I wish I had bought the simple 7" RM .
Interstates are rough , I've had mine fall off the magnetic base too many times to count

 

I've got the new Garmin with the dash cam and so far (6 months) it's been great. I had the rand Mcnally one with sat radio, but every time you hit a bump on 70 in IN it would go flying off the magnetic mount. Hasn't happened once with the Garmin.

 

I'm running big road dashlink in my 2016 with a iPad Pro on sprint network. Works really well. Any of the solutions you can buy from loves or pilot are going to be junk

 

Did you ever find a suitable solution? I am in the same position (2001 F-350). Too new to be exempt...too old to work with dashlink. Did Big Road not work at all?

 

Our owner operators, all driving 2015/2016/2017 Rams picked up transflow units from the pilot truck stops. Don't have a lot of use on them yet because we all took our winter vacation. I haven't heard of anyone having any problems with them yet though.

The reason they chose Transflow is because the ELD was only $107.99 and they could sign up for month to month service ranging from $20.00 to $40.00 a month depending on what extra services they chose. None of my owner operators, including me like this mandate. We're all still hoping it gets repealed at some point.

 

So last week when my Stone Ridge EZ-ELD quit while running, I was used to unplugging it or kicking it to unplug.

Last time I kicked it I saw a wire came out of the plug harness.

Today I took it apart to fix the wire. After opening it up, I found the wire in question was actually pinched in one of the screws that hold the wire cover on. Such quality! haha
