    I just purchased a 2018 Volvo 860 truck but the ELD (Keeptruckin) that we were using on the 2013 Kenworth does not work on the new truck. I called Keeptruckin and asked for a new cable to connect to the new Volvo truck, but they said that they dont have a cable that they can guarantee will work. Can anyone tell me which ELD is proven to work well on a 2018 Volvo 860 truck?? Thank you in advance.

    I believe the VDO RoadLog works on the Volvo.

    Someone else posted this very same dillemma.

    Sounded like you needed some type of spider cable as various ports needed to be plugged into instead of the standard computer communications port.
