Good ELD System but too restrictive and not modern
What do you like best?
It is rugged and well built, albeit old fashioned and archaic looking.
What do you dislike?
it's written on stone. When the device throws you into DRIVE even for a couple secs, you can't do anything about it, even though it is not your fault and you did not move an inch. You can't "move" the drive event to a co-driver or a yard man. Also the display is too small (just 3.5 inch screen) in the era of more robust and larger screens that are 8 inches. Then it has the worst screen resolution of all ELDs out there. It is grey-scale display, which nobody uses any more. Really? It lacks night mode too. No audible alerts when you approach a violation. Does not give you the ability to view or print out uncertified logs. You have to manually check each days logs to know who did not certify his logs.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
EROAD ELD is a rugged system. It is very accurate and since it is a tethered system, connectivity is highly reliable. It has an inbuilt memory storage and can record your HOS for a while if you find yourself in a dead spot temporarily. But it is too old fashioned, not modern looking.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
Used essentially for HOS compliance. And also drivers RODS.
