    Has anybody used ELD with older trucks pre 2000 year built.

    If lease operating can you use a different ELD than the carrier as long as it is fmcsa approved.

    If you are leasing on, the eld you use is up to them. More than likely, they will want all of the trucks on the same system.

    Pretty much what they tell you to run.

    That is disappointing. Telling an owner what to use.

    I have a 1991 379. I use Big Roads, and I like the program.

    Er, it's their truck. You are just taking over all the bills, costs and problems of running same away from the company until you run out of money to continue to do it.

    Are you using just a tablet, or phone?
    And are you using the data J1739 port?

    I use a 7 inch Samsung tablet. If the J1739 port is regarding the engine, then no. I have the ol' B model engine, no electronics on it. Big Roads program pings me and that how they see if Im moving or not.

    So ELD is still Fmcsa approved without using the data port??
    This is what seems confusing?
