    Keep trucking can and should be slaved to the truck you are driving. Real electronics logs start logging driving when the truck moves. April 1 I believe this is required. Do other apps have provisions for this?

    Keep Truckin sends a GPS based ELD module for free and you just have to pay for the appropriate Y cable for your vehicle for plug in. If you discontinue the service you just send back the module. It is similar to Fleetmatics (Reveal Connect now) and, as I said, it does not have the functionality of the Verizon system behind it.
    Were I an OO, I would love the Keep Truckin system as it i a SUPER easy elog app. As a fleet manager these days, there are some reporting systems and data collection systems that are definitely lacking.
    Fleetmatics has really done a good job these last 2-3 weeks of getting their act back together. Since the roll out of the new updated Reveal Connect system I have had ZERO issues with any part of their system. They have also gotten their service side up to snuff and they are much more responsive. The only drawback to them now are their draconian contract terms (much like their parent company Verizon!!), and the cost factor. I think for a small company they may be worth the monthly fee as you can data mine a huge amount of information to help you run your fleet in a short staffed environment.

    If you're using an "Apple" Mobile Device... Throw it out the window and get an Android. There's a reason, 90% of the suppliers DON'T even bother with IOS Compatibility.

    A 20 minute video is not short. Might want to trim it down to 2-3 minutes of an overview if you want to use it as a sales tool....
