    About to go to orientation next week hopefully, and was wanting to see if the Motive ELD was good and if you could get the CoPilot Navigation with it like you can with Omnitracs?
    Thanks Jeff

    I use Motive - an old cellphone in a fixed holder. Their customer service is decent.

    Id just use a Garmin for navigation if you need - the Omni tracks was junk when i last used it.

    Your ELD monthly fee will be $26.

    I second Omnitrac being junk with the Co-pilot Navigation. I chose Omnitrac just because it can be re-used at another carrier that uses Omnitrac, verses the throw away Motive ELD. I don't know how you feel about bypassing weigh stations, but go with Prepass. Don't get Drivewyze. It sucks. Only time I get the bypass is when the scale is closed, otherwise I am stopping at every one of them 99% of the time.

    WE use Drivewyze and I get mostly bypasses. It has a lot to do with your companies ISS score, which is determined by their inspection record.
