    Keep Truckin' for the win.

    I've used PeopleNet and Qualcomm/Omnitracks before and hated them.

    I like keep trucking for personal use but don’t like the platform when needing to track my other trucks.

    Unless they’ve updated the system it’s no track / breadcrumb friendly on the phone app.
     
    OldeSkool Thanks this.

    My Keep Trucking is from the company. They put in more hardware in the truck. Including a dash cam. Also a hot spot with it. The company gets lotsa information on me. I'm glad my company is good, constructive, working with me. The app itself can go on a smart phone. Company provided a tablet that wasn't very good. I have mine on a iPad. Oh CA. DOT was impressed. "Oh Keep Trucking on an iPad! Nice!"
    I really like that Keep Trucking gives you a fair shake. None of this gotcha BS. Even the 5mph to switch to driving. You can touch 5. But don't keep going unless you want to go to on duty driving. Very fair and driver friendly elog.

    I use GeoTab, simple with no contract, $35 a month, very stable. Option to wire directly vs the OBD port. I use a tablet basically dedicated to that via an app. Can also use my phone in the event my tablet craps the bed. It has a great Admin side that provides all kinds of information, my favorite being engine fault codes that may or may not have triggered a check engine light. Fault code, description, current status, times logged and advanced details, giving you some insight into what might be a problem down the road. And I can pull an IFTA report either pdf or excel.
     
    OldeSkool Thanks this.

    How ya like blue ink tech? That's the elog I just went with. They have any problems? The guy I've been dealing with has been really helpful and their online portal is pretty easy to use. I signed up for full subscription. 240 bucks a year

    I just got their scales for my OTR venture this week, pretty #### accurate if I don’t say.

    Literally cut the airline and use the push connectors to push cut airline into it.

    My trailer for whatever reason has all 1/2” airline so had to switch the connection.
