ELD Integration — United States

ELD Integration for Your TMS

Almost every carrier has an ELD, because it is mandatory. Far fewer have connected it to anything. The result is a dispatcher planning loads on one screen while the data that determines whether those plans are legal sits on another.

Truck location on the load (from Mobile) — the ELD position shows on the load being tracked, so fewer calls go out asking where the truck is.

Part 395 audit (Elite and VIP) — a deterministic check of duty-status data against federal hours-of-service rules, producing findings you can act on.

Mileage by jurisdiction for IFTA (from Mobile) — ELD miles are recorded per state from vehicle data, which is what makes quarterly IFTA a report rather than a reconstruction.

Truck import from the ELD (from Operate) — bring units in from the provider instead of typing each one.

Supports Samsara, Motive, and Geotab; confirm the available fields and account requirements during the demo.

One connection, several jobs — available ELD data can support dispatch, IFTA, and compliance workflows; provider fields, setup scope, and business impact vary.

What integration changes day to day

The immediate change is visibility. The truck’s position from the ELD shows on the load, so fewer calls go out asking where the truck is, and the same connection feeds the hours-of-service audit. Remaining drive time is still read in the ELD itself; TruckerPro does not show a live hours counter at assignment.

The second change is IFTA. Mileage by jurisdiction is the single most tedious input in the quarterly return, and reconstructing it from trip sheets at deadline is where errors enter. When vehicle data drives the accumulation, the return is generated from records that were captured as the trucks ran.

The third is the audit. An ELD proves what happened; it does not analyze what keeps happening. Running your logs against Part 395 on your own schedule turns hours-of-service from a roadside risk into a managed metric.

What an ELD integration does not do

It does not replace the ELD. The device remains your system of record for duty status and remains what you present at roadside. Integration reads that data and puts it to work elsewhere.

It also does not make violations disappear. What it changes is who finds them and when. A violation your own audit surfaces on Tuesday is a coaching conversation; the same violation found in a compliance review is a finding on your record and an input to your CSA score.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ELDs do you integrate with?

Samsara, Motive, and Geotab. Available duty-status, vehicle, location, IFTA, and audit data depends on the provider and account configuration, so confirm the fields you need during the demo.

Does the TMS replace my ELD?

No, and it should not. The ELD is a mandated recording device and remains your system of record for duty status, including at roadside. The TMS reads that data so dispatch, IFTA, and compliance can use it. They are complementary systems with different jobs.

How does the hours-of-service audit work?

It runs a deterministic check of your connected ELD duty-status data against FMCSA Part 395 rules and produces a list of findings — 14-hour-window issues, driving-limit problems, missing certifications. You review the findings and address them, ideally well before a compliance review would surface the same patterns.

Does ELD data drive IFTA reporting?

Yes, from Mobile; IFTA reporting itself starts on Operate. Vehicle data lets mileage accumulate by jurisdiction as trucks run, which is the input that makes quarterly IFTA a generated report rather than a manual reconstruction from trip sheets and fuel receipts.

Can dispatchers see hours before assigning a load?

Not as a live counter. TruckerPro uses the ELD’s duty-status data for the Part 395 audit, which flags patterns across the fleet; the ELD stays the place to read a driver’s remaining hours. At dispatch, TruckerPro’s compliance checks cover expired licences, medical cards, and truck documents.

Is the integration included or an add-on?

Dispatch is on every plan. ELD connections, HOS monitoring, IFTA and truck import from the ELD start on Operate; truck location on the load and ELD miles for IFTA on Mobile; the Part 395 HOS audit on Elite. Confirm your ELD provider and the current plan matrix during the demo.
