    Hey Guys,

    Want to hear from fellas that use and have used either Xata, JJ Keller EOBR or uDrove. Say you forget your phone at the truck stop and then take off in your truck, what happens if you drive for the next hour? I guess what I'm asking is what happens when your phone or tablet isnt paired with the hardware thingy? Does the darn thing still work? What happens?

    Would love to hear yalls experience using these things.

    <3 Rachel

    Used the Xata system for a while before retiring in 2011....my phone had nothing to do with the Xata....Company phone or personal phone.
