The ELD mandate’s purpose is to reduce the overall number of accidents, but there is much more to it than just tracking the service hours. Now, it’s possible to integrate Geotab data with your driver files for comprehensive driver tracking and reporting.
Having Accurate ELD Data for IFTA and IRP
Both the IFTA and IRP need to know the exact miles driven in each state. Geotab data can be used to accurately track mileage so that tax is allocated correctly and fuel costs are properly accounted for.
ELD Data for Detention Evidence
ELD data can be used for evidence when it comes to driver detention. Many times, shippers and receivers will not pay for the extra time that drivers must wait to be loaded or unloaded. Using Geotab data, you can easily see when the truck arrived, when the driver left, and how long they were detained.
Load Location Tracking Using ELD Data
ELD data can also be used to track load location. Geotab data can be used to calculate the time of arrival at the destination and the exact location of the truck at any given time. This is especially helpful for trucking companies who are trying to ensure their loads are delivered on time.
