The last time Overdrive caught up with owner-operator Al Montano in June, the specialized equipment hauler had just spent about $2,000 to outfit his two trucks with the Continental VDO Roadlog ELD system. That was in February. In April, he got a notice the company was shutting down service for the VDO, and that he’d have to find another ELD provider — which would be his fourth in two years.
