The five-point checklist

How to choose an ELD when you own one truck

A good ELD fits your truck and your business. Start with these five questions.

  1. Price per year, all-in

    Hardware, service, installation and extras. Compare year one and every year after.

    Route One: Device + 1 year of service for $180.

  2. Contract and cancellation

    Check the term, auto-renewal, notice window and how you cancel.

    Route One: No hidden terms. Cancel any time.

  3. Compatibility

    Check your connector (9-pin, 6-pin, Volvo/Mack, or OBD2) and make sure your phone is supported.

    Route One: Confirm your truck and cable with our team.

  4. Support when you need it

    When you’re at a weigh station at 2 a.m., support matters. Check hours, channels and languages.

    Route One: Chat with our team from the portal.

  5. IFTA included

    Ask if IFTA mileage tracking is included or costs extra.

    Route One: IFTA miles included with the ELD offer.

  6. All five, for just $180 in the first year.
