[@ramymohamed3015]

[@Cozyinnaboxtruck]

I start tomorrow out of state and this helped me

[@HotshotMacc]

Awesome bro glad it helped! Stay safe out there!

[@carlosjavierrodriguezvelez3189]

Thank You. I have had mines for 6 months and never connected the device. Will actually install Sunday. Thanks for the video my dude.

[@HotshotMacc]

Glad it helped brotha!

[@marcoscortez3787]

Great video, to make the pre trip a little easier you can go into your motive dashboard and make it mandatory to do a pre trip before going on duty, that’s how I have it set up I find it easier,

[@HotshotMacc]

Didn’t know that man, definitely appreciate that tip bro!

[@Miamiflow885]

Im looking at mine now, im not seeing that setting??

[@zakgranger2911]

This video couldnt be more helpful! Awesome job! Im definitely going to get this ! Great video!

[@HotshotMacc]

Glad I could help!

[@MIAMYRMAR]

You just don’t know how much I needed this video

[@HotshotMacc]

That’s why I do it bro, to hear responses like this one. Glad it helped bro 🫡💪🏽💯

[@andrewrussell3679]

Do they have that plug for semi trucks? Because semi trucks are different plug-in do they have that set up as well?

[@HotshotMacc]

Yes, they do have ELD solutions for semi trucks as well. The plugs and connections for semi trucks can be different, but there are ELD systems specifically designed to fit those configurations. Make sure to choose an ELD provider that offers options for semi trucks and ensures compatibility with your vehicle's system.

[@bczerniak]

Does this device have harsh breaking fast acceleration and speeding? Insurance requires me to have all that

[@HotshotMacc]

Yes it does. Which insurance is requiring you to have that. They should be giving you a discount to report that to the insurance.

[@ThumplifeFishing]

Thank you bro! Just ordered my Motive ELD Thursday. You always hit it out the park! Bless up

Great video and explanation... I'm setting up my hotshot setup for myself and I'll be ready to roll by the end of this year.... I'm using a 2007 E-450 and I'm hoping that this device will work...I'm currently rebuilding a 24' old gooseneck... I know my equipment is used and old but for now it's a start and paid for.... I will be upgrading my equipment as $$$ allows me to... In these hard times I don't want to get into this business in debt with a new truck and trailer...

What's up, Tim! I've been subscribed to your channel for a while now and I've learned a lot here. I had some experience as a hotshot driver in the past, but it didn't work out, but now I am about to return to it, been my brother's driver. He's starting a car hauling business. So, wish us luck! (Hahahaha!!!).

[@rawrealitylife2959]

I liked keep trucking. The back office functions and IFTA tracking was awesome. So many back office functions and reports for the owner/op. Tax help proof for OTR to get per diem also.

[@HotshotMacc]

My wife speaks highly on the same topic of Ifta, she claims it’s aligns great! It’s good to hear others liking the software as well 🫡💯

[@100pyatt]

⚠️WARNING: Motive software is not compliant with HOS law and falsely violates drivers that take qualifying rest periods and not recognizing the pausing of their HOS clocks

[@romanshevy257]

Do you use the same log in for fleet and driver app?

Is it possible for eld to drain your battery over night? My battery died twice in a row since I hooked up eld.

[@HotshotMacc]

Id get that checked out. I’ve never had a battery die bc of that and my eld stays plugged in.

[@claudem.p.7969]

[@HotshotMacc]

I am not sure Canadian rules but I am sure you can contact them directly and they will would be able to help you. We don’t run Canada lanes

What do you do if you arrive at your shipper or receiver and run out of hours for the day. What status do u choose when they give you a door? How do u get offloaded or loaded when ur on ur 10 hour reset?

[@HotshotMacc]

I would PC to the nearest safe place to stay but notate what happened. Typically that’s bad planning but if there’s no choice then that would be your only option and hope you don’t get a DOT officer that will trip about that but some may.

[@davidjennings75]

I have banks Powerpack and all banks upgrades on my F450. Is there an adapter so that my banks can be plugged in as well.

[@stephonwilmot1006]

Is it possible to manually change duty status once you stop or do you have to wait until it automatically asks if i want to stay in driving? Getting on duty manually saves vital minutes traveling big yards

[@HotshotMacc]

Yes, you can manually change your duty status once you stop, except for the driving status-you’ll need to wait for the system to automatically prompt you to switch out of driving mode. Switching statuses manually when you’re stopped can save you valuable time, so it’s a good practice to stay on top of your logs.

Alot of useful information. Still have questions I use this same vehicle for work and home and I work 3 weeks on 1 week off. On my week off do we still need to have eld connected. I have forgotten to update my status and have gone into violations.

[@HotshotMacc]

Glad you found the info helpful! Two ways I do it when Im home and used to run my other truck. I'll either go off duty and go into personal conveyance when moving around town, you just have to remember to go back off duty break when your done. Or ill just go off duty and unplug the eld while home. Ill do that if I'm staying within 125 miles of my home base.

Can you connect this eld with your garmin navigation

[@HotshotMacc]

No I didn’t, I have another camera of my own

Hey bro, I leave my ELD plugged in and I haven't seen it cause any issues with my batteries. And I just use the hotspot on my phone for the iPad.
