    What tech do you use on your truck?

    I'm trying to decide on a TPMS, a GPS, Dash cam and an ELD.
    Are all in one type tech recommended to reduce clutter in the cab? I am looking at the Dezlcam 785 with the buit in dash cam and thinking of adding the ELD add on. I am worried that if the gps dies on me I lose all three. Will the ELD keep recording even if the Dezl isn't working? Obviously the cam won't work as it's built in. If I were to purchase them all separately which gps and eld would you recommend?
    I have a gopro session I can use as a dash cam. I've used it as one on my cars and it works great.

    For the TPMS I am looking at the EEZtire. $389 with 8 anti theft sensors and 3 year warranty. Anything better for the price?

    Are there onboard scales that will fit a one ton truck & 14k trailer hotshot setup? I could see that being extremely helpful and a time saver.

    Ok I am a noob but I have a little tech in my truck. I put in a nice Kenwood head unit with a dash cam and rear cam. Works very well. I went with the keep trucking ELD and you can even get it with a dash cam too if you choose. I have a Dezl 785 with all the bells and whistles coming in just to try and then write a review for it. I went ahead and signed up for the PrePass thingy as well. Pays my tolls and lets me not to have to stop at all weigh stations. We’ll see if it is worth it. Also the headunit is great because I have Sirius radio etc so I can stream if I want to. I am also getting the new ATT WiFi with unlimited mins so I can stay connected everywhere I possibly can. I have a Bluetooth headset, a CB that doesn’t get much action and I am considering a portable printer. I use ezfax which is an online fax service where I can conduct business by email including signing and even take pics of docs and convert the. To scanned copies and fax them through the program. Oh and I have a 500w inverter for little incidental stuff like a small fan etc.
