Customers say
Customers find the ELD device saves money on data usage fees and consider it the best option for truck drivers.

Moreover, connectivity issues are significant, with customers reporting it keeps disconnecting and takes over 4 hours to connect. Additionally, accuracy and mileage recording are concerns, with customers noting it’s not accurate and doesn’t record miles correctly.
