Message:: [QUOTE="Ruges, post: 2571908, member: 38751"]My company has been using qualcom for years. never liked the thing. granted we have the old 3 piece units. I never found it very reliable either. there where a few times msgs never got threw or would go threw a day or two later. also the ones we had did not have the e-log portion. I dont think I could recomend qualcom for O/O's. It would be to much for just e-logs. This year my company has gave use Xata's Turnpike to install. its a small little 4 inch x 4 inch device that plugs into the data port beneith the dash. And its interface is threw a smartphone. Which my company provided. However I decided not to use the companies device and just use my own phone (no sense in using two). I am not sure how much the device costs, but cannot see more then a couple hundred. It really seems pretty basic. My company has been nice enough to not require us to use them yet. which is nice becouse it is giving me time to get used to it first. So I am still running my paperlogs along side the elogs to see how it works. Which is a good thing, becouse the other night I forgot to switch it to offduty when I parked for the weekend. So it ran as if I was onduty. I'm at like 128 hours for the week on the thing.[/QUOTE]
