    It's a different ELD device. It operates in place of the Qualcomm ELD. GEOTab is actually the software on the tablet, and a device wired in-line with the diagnostic port. It can be used on pretty much any tablet or phone, but in this case, it's on a Samsung Galaxy Tab A.

    I currently use the combination of QC and the TRANSFLO App. Sounds like it’s a bit more like the TRANSFLO App where the details are not complete at times. Heading to the garage today to have it installed.

    The ELD part is fine, all dispatching is done via Transflo with this setup.

    I'm confused, I thought this was something you used with your phone. Is this something optional that the shop installs then?

    The GEOTab is a different device altogether. It is a tablet based ELD. The company doesn't use the messaging capability within the Geo Tab app. All messaging and load assignments go through Transflo. The transflo app is on the tablet

    Basically the QC is removed and you use two Apps. GEOTab for your clocks and pre/post and TRANSFLO for communications. Both are just Apps and they provide you a small tablet instead of the QC unit in the truck.

    Not comfortable with the GEOTab yet but I do like how one can see all of your Clocks now and not just the one with the least time.

    still in the learning curve here
     
    dwells40 and M22 rockcrusher Thank this.

    Are they wanting to transfer everything to that and get rid of omni tracks? This is the 1st I've heard of it

    Great! My qc broke off its bracket. The "testicle" broke off so now I hang it from the middle cupholder. POS! Came out of the house Tues to pickup an empty trailer from Four Oaks to go to the port at Morehead City. I got there at 3, but was turned around since I don't have a TWIC nor an escort. Went and parked at a Circle K with 5 truck spots. Port closed at 4pm so I said "tomorrow is another day,". Got up Wed at 7am called the escort company, met my escort outside the gate at 8am, he got me in and waited 3.5 hours to get loaded with 21 tons of wheat gluten from Australia. The escort fee was $262.50 payable by EFS check. Freight must be slow if this is what they could find me. Will drop at KC dropyard and pickup a Four Oaks load back to NC for Monday.
