This is my 2nd week with VDO Roadlog I'm pleased with how it works.

The people from where I bought mine said I needed a driver key and a fleet key. My friend bought one from a different place and they just sold him the fleet key. It saved him about 44 dollars. The only difference the driver key won't let the DOT see as much information as the fleet key will. If they asked to plug it into their computer.

That's what I paid. It automatically goes to on duty driving after you reach 5mph. After you stop it will change to on duty not driving after 5 minutes. You have to manually go to off duty or sleeper birth. You also have personal conveyance and yard moves you can choose .

USB thing... How do I retreive/display the info from the usb ? To display on the laptop or hand the usb to a dot..? Isn't that what it's for ?? Or use the printer and throw the driver key out the window ? Help !

The USB is for the driver and fleet key to down load the info to put on your personal computer. The DOT can plug into it if they want too.But printing the last 7 days is all they need to see.

My wife liked to pull her hair out. But after she and tech support emailed back and forth for 2 days they figured she needed to change her browser and stop pop ups and then it worked she was able to get the app.

Fees Not FREE, Damn Auto Correct.

Their ( support) was less than poor. Couple that with my computer ignorance and you have a bad taste.. The email they responded with was watch the video and do it yourself... I have to ask about the fore mentioned 7 or 8 day thing. Is it a usb size thing... Would I need to print on my eighth day out or plug into the laptop ?

Both usb's have been plugged and un-plugged till they are tired... I simply want to see the information on them.... ya know, the stuff an inspector would ask for..So far all OI got was chasing my tail around the computer.... It says they have sycn'd. then what//???? Postal is next....

Keep trucking is 30 month I think ,so thats not cheaper

Ummmm 360.00 a year is cheaper than 700.00 a year, but maybe you figure diferent than i do. Geeeeez, what a moron!!!!

ELDs the biggest invasion of our privacy yet, We might as well let one of the feds get in and Ride with us They will know how much to charge us when to charge and how much we can stand! Its just another straw on the Camel back! Thank God my trucks are 1999 s! They say Safety, Safety, Safety, HA .. Its Control, Control,Control,
I wish I could Manufacture something, and the country would pass a law that everyone would have to buy it! Thank God I'm 62 years old and quit in a couple of years!
Have fun you little steering wheel holders!!!

Harold, as I understand it, peterbilt came out with a new truck just for the E-Log guys, they replaced the passenger seat with a toilet, since they may not be able to legally make it to the bathroom in time..... Bahhahaha.

Until you figure down time. Peterbilt parts guy just called me yesterday. Had another guy return his vdo for rand McNally system. Vdo kept freezing up on him. I had the same problem when I had one. Cheaper isn't always better.
