ELD’s

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. I currently use JJ kellars eld. To me it is ment for large trucking companies, they have no ag exempt or anything like that on it. It lags way behind, very glitchy, and sometimes keeps u logged on while u are stopped. The good is when I do my reports every 3 months it has all my fuel and mileage in every state and basically makes it very easy todo my dot stuff. So what ELD’S are u guys using that make it easy todo the reports and have a ag exempt option that is easy to run and goes to your phone. Thanks

I like the no monthly fee but the model 710 dezel gps that I use requires a smart phone to Bluetooth the Eld and gps. The GPS constantly disconnects from the eLog.

Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member.	Posted by a private BulkLoads.com member. I run J.J Keller Encompass. The customer service is top notch. Once I got it all setup it's easy to use and it has a non-regulated driving function that I use for harvest. My only complaint is it's a little more complicated to setup than it needs to be for an owner operator.

I have no complaints other than you have to use PC for ag exempt and put it in the notations. They did a podcast on one here in Bulkloads that I'm seriously thinking about it's got a really nice ag exempt feature. I just can't use ag exempt all the time So I don't know if I'd be worth a switch

Get some paper logs from the truckstop, and take whatever ELD device or service you currently use and disconnect it. Step 2. Roll the window down. step 3. Throw it out the window (like many people do Pee bottles). Finish your trip on paper logs and go home. Step 4. Call konexial and get the My20ELD Step 5. Run paper logs or take time off while the device is enroute. This is the time to relax, grab your favorite beverage, go to their YouTube Channel and watch the training videos. Step 6. Install the new device in the truck, Sync it to your tablet or phone, and set up the tower service for multiple trucks. Step 7. Grab a beer or cocktail and marvel at what you've just accomplished. Step 8. Be happy with your new ELD and never worry about this topic again. Thank You, Over and OUT!
