    Don't know what their cost per unit is or their per truck data usage costs are, but somebody is taking it in the Butt over this. Wonder how many units are currently in use nationwide?

    Yes, because if one random person on the internet has not heard of one of the top 10 selling eld's it must be clickbait....

    You would think now they finally got the golden goose inside the ELD crap there will be silence about the #### thing industry wide.

    A demise of any or all ELD makers is not a bad negative losing deal, its something to be celebrated.

    The whole thing was over thought and oversold. Too many things addressed with reading the ECM correctly and keeping it vague enough to suit those who practice law for a living.

    Also, our major malfunction has been not connecting to the network. I had to run a truck where it couldnt be brought online, so I used paper, luckily, the previous driver left the logbook when he cleaned out the truck when he quit. Even had a pen stuck in the loose leaf binder for me.

    It's clickbait because the company name isn't in the title, when you click to find out who it is you generate income for the site, unless you block ads and scripts like I do. Leaving critical info out of f the title almost always means it's a worthless post.

    Please feel free to post a survey asking how many people use roadlog.

    Anybody use Roadlog here?

    Anyone ever even hear of it?

    I’ve heard of them. But most companies (my employer included) use Omnitracs/Qualcomm or PeopleNet or most drivers/ owner operators use other types.

    I read complaints about most, and PeopleNet is now even more disliked than it was. That's from users first and secondhand.

    Omnitracs had the big outage while back.
