Now that we're nearing the end of the ELD implementation timeline, ELD devices are in widespread use. Most of the fleet owner-operators thought that any ELD is enough when, in fact, it's not. After using the ELDs for a few months, the feedback from the fleet operators and drivers have surfaced several problems. Few based on technology, quality of services, and others on specific approaches by suppliers. Dropped Bluetooth connections to frustrating failure during roadside inspections to poor technical support, the issues are numerous. However, the most prominent reason the fleet operators are experiencing is the drivers affected on the break in Wireless or Bluetooth connections resulting in interrupted HOS records. Another major annoyance, the drivers are facing is the data privacy because of their use of personal cell phone. It's the time now to fix these issues you are facing by switching to the right ELD.
It's essential to choose the ELD solution that will best suit you, and it's a common belief that the best features come with a price. There are ELD providers who have certified ELDs and can deliver all the requirements set by the Mandate at an affordable price. TXT E Solutions Inc provides the ELD which is compliant and most suitable for the fleet company.
Let's summarize five reasons why you should upgrade to TXT ELD and avoid the problems.
The hardwired ELD module can transfer records directly collected from the Engine Control Module (ECM) unit of a carrier. The engine data can form a steady data flow and relays every possible vehicle movement. In this case, the dataflow does not depend on Bluetooth or any WIFI hotspot. This ELD module gives the driver flexibility to un-dock the ELD display unit to show records to DOT Officer for inspection whenever required staying connected. The ELD and the ECM synchronize immediately when the driver re-dock it after the review. So, the hardwired ELD module throws an accurate and uninterrupted dataflow. The hardwired ELD model does not require personal cell phones or data. Thus, drivers do not have to worry about their data privacy. This model is a fully compliant option.
The TXT ELD has built-in network connections that start working with the engine movement and continues to throw records until the vehicle is on the move. Thus, there is no question of network disruption or connection drop even in the remote areas. This data plan comes as apart of the TXT ELD bundle, so you don't have to pay extra or use your cell phone data plan. TXT does have customized data plan depending upon the usage and sets you free from a restrictive cell phone data plan.
It is always better to find an ELD provider that offers a monthly based subscription and no contract. Most providers want to bind your fleet with the technology in more extended agreements. This contract can weigh on your shoulder, and you could be missing better opportunities. In the case of no contract, you can have an option to switch providers if you are not satisfied. Also, a long-term commitment can limit usage. E.g., if an owner wants to hire more drivers, then you typically might need to renegotiate the contract.
