    Samsara seemed to work fine for me. Used it in oil field.
    KeepTrucking has been very good. In the beginning. I had some issues. It is a company unit with dash cam and all. I called support. I got a guy giving me deceiving excuses. I asked my safety person. Who was also on charge of these. She came back with a man’s name and number. I sat in a lot one afternoon. He got it all straightened out. He told me if anything else. Call him and only him.
    I’m very happy with keeptrucking. I’ve used a few of them.
    Really liked when Ca. DOT asked for my logs at the port of entry. I handed her my iPad. She said: “oh, keeptrucking on an iPad…. Nice!”

    Before retiring in 2011 , my company was using the XATA machine.

    Imho , they are a good thing for the industry.

    Not only did they help keep drivers honest , they helped to keep the 100mph dispatchers under control.

    Just an opinion though , not looking for an argument.
     
    Still undecided and Bean Jr. Thank this.

    I was driving for Quality Carriers when the first went to Elogs. They used the XATA which was tied to a company provided cell phone. Of course, it was a EBORD and did not have to meet the standars of our current ELDs. But it was ok, though the DOT in Georgia didn't like the way the thing worked and put one driver OOS.

    Only had issue with 1 DOT officer. It was an early morning and I guess he was bored. I showed all the info he requested and it was obvious I was legal.

    He kept saying but "you" could have put all that info in yourself.

    Lol he finally let me ride.
     
    alds Thanks this.
