    I've been doing research and scouring, and now it looks like I'm down to 3. Anyone have good/bad experience with any of these 3 (KT, DriveELD, and BigRoad)?

    I have no experience with any of the 3. My company uses VDO Roadlog and they seem to do the trick.

    Good luck. :)

    I use KeepTruckin' and, although I hate the whole elog thing, if I have to have it, KeepTruckin' seems to be the top of the heap. It works well for me. I played with BigRoad in the beginning, but I like KeepTruckin' better.

    I've used BigRoad for a year, one issue and they sent a replacement cable over night. Highly recommend.

    Tried Keep Truckin and it was one issue after another. Horrible customer service. Think they outsourced tech support to India since then. They are a tech firm with little clue about trucking, they want your tracking data to sell you broker/load services.

    Hmmm... I've been using KeepTruckin' since this crap was forced on us and I haven't noticed anything you listed.

    I stand corrected, it's Pakistan. Google KeepTruckin and Pakistan.

    I've heard/read a lot about KT's customer service being pretty poor.

    They're definitely the cheapest option of these three. Is it easy to use?
