I just heard dot is mandating the 3 G elogs be updated by January 1st. Omnitracs can not get the update chip due to the shortage. So the only other option is to buy a new elog. I don't even have this one payed off yet.
3 G qualcomm mandated update Jan 1, chip shortage?

What that means is any ELD that requires 3g to function will then not work and need to be replaced.Magoo1968, DrFlush, RedForeman and 2 others Thank this. -
ETA: I'm already seeing increasing outages in remote areas with my remaining 3G unit. Already got a new 4G model to go in my new truck when it gets delivered in about 2 weeks. Once I get that one running, I'll order a new one for the other truck and be up to date for now.ZVar, feldsforever and Magoo1968 Thank this. -
I have 30 of the new ones now, waiting for the rest. Qualcom said certain things will not be retained after 1/1/22 on their servers. Anyone want about $35K worth of the old ones? LOL
RedForeman and feldsforever Thank this. -
Crazy as it sounds most elog companies are skipping 4g and going straight to 5G that ought to be interesting in remote areas lol
