i like the app is user friendly and connected to the in cab camera .

Dislike

That they generally do not let us remove ELDs until the end of our yearly contract, and our fleet various on the season.

Dislike

1) Inability to individually assign safety coaches to drivers based on our company structure 2) Constant firmware updating that does not always automatically push through 3) No notification of a disconnect if a driver unplugs a GPS or dashcam device (The disconnect report and alerts are not accurate all of the time)

lack of custom settings in the app, and ability to make notes on driver reviews

    Tripping Over Glitches: Issues Despite Proper Usage

    4.0
    Oct 31, 2024
    Glitches in the system are our biggest gripe. Examples include split sleeper provision not being applied when it was done properly, random people being assigned trips where a different driver was in the truck all day, 14 hour violations occurring even though the driver was compliant.
