Indiana Jack Installs the Keep Truckin ELD Device in His Volvo Truck

[@walteradamski2639]

Walt's wife here, although I'm a girl and knows nothing about trucks or trucking I love the open road so therefore love your videos. When I was young I remember vividly driving on Route 66 when we moved to CA. Since then I have been a road junkie! I did not watch this video. LOL!

[@indianajack]

+walter adamski I remember that as a kid also. Thanks for watching Walt's wife. :-)

[@phyllisleclaire4830]

Hey Indiana Jack I really enjoy your videos my name is trucker Jim I've been truck driving since 2010 I'm going to see you out there one of these days thanks for the videos

[@theamerican7131]

Enjoyed the video. Nice of you to offer to help people, IndianaJack.

[@samraedeker8002]

Thanks for the info. Keep up the great work on line, you make stuff a lot easier to understand. Be safe.

[@semiretired6033]

BTW Jack, nice install. You make everything you do look easy.😉

[@tonymollet42]

Hi Jack, enjoyed the video, thanks ! now where I come from we don't run on driver logs or tachograph and no driving hour restrictions but it is interesting watching your video and to see what you drivers have to put up with just to stay legal. Keep on truckin and you tubin.

[@mtfsweeping9109]

Fantastic job on doing the ELD cheers from Australia

[@buddycarroll9641]

Good job Jack. I just ordered my KeepTrucking ELD, bought a new Samsung tablet and downloaded the app. Been playing with the app for a few days and it's not all that difficult. Keep Trucking said the ELD's are on back order and won't ship until the 30th of December. They sent me a "proof of purchase" and told me that I shouldn't get a ticket if I show I have ordered an ELD. Hope they're right. If anyone's thinking about getting an ELD, I would recommend the KeepTrucking eld. It's pretty simple. Good luck.

[@indianajack]

+Buddy Carroll glad to hear that Buddy. Let me know how the installation goes. Not just for me but everyone else who is watching.

[@Lonewolf-xt4ml]

I've been driving since I was 18 in my 7 years I only used ELD for 3 months and then drove my dads rig up until then with paper logs I am only intimidated by the fact I hardly ever did the full 10hr/30min breaks especially during winter I am now considering looking for a new profession I am tired of the government trying to unnecessarily regulate everything

[@RumbleTouchDroid]

Indiana Jack of all Trades.

[@gereral1_jackofalltrades]

got my eld 3 days ago. If your loading and unloading expect 8hrs of drive as you will run out of 14 hr clock. If your loading then you might get the 11 hrs drive. If onduty not drive you cannot roll your truck without it going onduty. If your in sleeper birth or off duty for 5 min you can roll the truck around the yard without it changing duty status. You cannot add fuel if your doing this. Stay logged in over 36 or 34 hr reset and you can start in the yard and roll the truck to the trailer hook and do vi, get yard fuel then start your 14h day. Only idling around can do this. At customer go right offduty. go onduty after your just about ready to go to show 30 min. Same as fuel. Rol;l in switch to on duty not driving. Then after 5-10 min fuel switch off duty and go get your food receipt whatever. These are some tips to help. Our company is using a mechanic account so we can log in move the truck around the yard hook to trailer and vi fuel then log out of mechanics account and log into our then our clock starts. You cannot change the 14 hr clock so be prepared to get out of there once you log in. Goodluck all you will loose 1 run every 2 weeks. I use to do 3 runs and 2 the next. ELD you will only get 2 runs one week 2 runs the next. What I mean by runs is pick delivery pick deliver return and repeat.

[@semiretired6033]

There is good and bad in everything. Yes ELB's will limit the driver to set rules governed by it. I remember when we used paper logs we would put ourselves off duty or sleeper to not waste our hours when were stuck waiting. But we were only cheating ourselves because we didn't really sleep cause we had to stand around to wait. We had to be there in case we were called on. Then we would hit the road tired cause we waited half the day. I remember how long the days would get. Dispatchers would tell you the load needs to get there the next day. They were very aware that we new how to fix our logs to show we had hours left but, in return we were sleep deprived. And if you tried to run legal you would be rewarded with shitty loads or none at all. Your truck would leave the yard but you were not the driving it. It was common for drivers to run 2 log books. Companies took advantage of us and drove us hard cause they knew they could. Now the game is up! These new ELB's are taking over and there is no more being forced to do more than you are legally allowed to. Cause now the company is at fault too if you are caught. Drivers do there 14 hours maximum and no matter where you are you are done.. This will make it easier on the driver. No more being told he's got to get there! Now carriers will have to make sure customers dont waste drivers time when they load or unload. Maybe charge the customers for unnecessary lost time waiting around..I see positive things here. Others will argue there none. This was my experience as a OTR without ELB's I coil see how easier they would have made my job if they were around back then..

[@josecastellanos9875]

Ramman I agree with you

[@tbkbaker00]

Except you can still sit around for half a day waiting on a load, not start your clock, and then get a load and drive just as you did before. The problem being the same, turn it down and slowly go broke, or run it. And the true issue is now, when your stuck out longer due to traffic or other issues, you can now be forced to spend your 10hr break in a unsafe area.. Like side of the interstate or a ramp.. Instead of driving to the next safe haven and actually parking... But go ahead, tell me how safer these are again.

[@Supe063]

Get paid by the hour! Work your eleven and park it. Now you'll have safer roads because drivers are less stressed AND fully rested.

[@salstonightsbiggestloser]

Thanks for the video Jack!

[@wikilix86]

I've also heard some rumors like regardless if you have 1999 engine but if it's with 9 pin connector you are still obligated to put eld. And then I've looked to even older engine's connectors. They are white or gray color and have 6 pin connector and that one is also possible to connect to eld, so techincaly every truck can be eld equiped...

[@stewy313]

Will I need data on my iPad to run keep trucking?

Thank you my brother I really appreciate 🙏🏻

[@mjtpogo]

Thank you Jack!! getting back in the saddle after extended down time, looks like there's been some changes in how we keep logs! 1st thing that popped in my head, "wow, wish I would have had this back then!" Are you finding a way to use 4&5 off and on, with 0.5 break, method for hard running? curious!

[@borisparrill]

Thank you very much for the video

I don't know if you have said a thing about how you fell about the ELD. I have never use one, I have not drove a semi from March 2012, As I retired. So how do you fell know

Very nice video. I'm just learning about ELD and must confess all this requirements are overwhelming. Your iPad mini looks like it has been nicely installed. Do you mind telling which holder are you using? Thanks

[@rodkneed]

What happens if you have to switch trucks? Can you easily move the ELD to a Loaner or Rental truck?

[@abqpinkman]

Thx for the vid jack!

[@LifeisGood2018]

I’ve been looking at this eld, thanks for the install video, how user friendly is it? And can you still use the iPad for other things?

[@frankzworld1974]

Can someone please tell me if i have to leave my ELD connected always? Does it affect the battery?

[@lesd9783]

This new ELD is just another unnecessary regulation by our Federal Government. Seems like everything our Federal Governments gets involved in, they end up screwing things up and always make things so much harder on the American people. A true professional driver doesn't need anyone to tell them when they should take a break and when they have to stop too sleep! Hope to see you in Tulsa one of these days and have shop talk with coffee or a meal. Happy trails and drive safe!

[@RumbleTouchDroid]

Les D tjey didn't make up the regulations for no reason. you ol timers crashed and killed people thinking your shit didn't stink.

[@lesd9783]

LOL @ Rumble Truckin... this ol timer never had a chargable accident and never killed people and I sure in the world never thought my shit stunk. Have a good one!

[@joncarnard3436]

They know when you're sleeping They know when you're awake They know if you've been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! lol

[@justinkirkland7149]

Rumble Truckin your a dumbass. I've run paper logs and elogs. I've ran more tired on elogs then I did on paper. I don't need anyone to tell me when to sleep. Elogs force you to drive your 11 hours and if your not tired when you lay down for your 10 hours and toss and turn for 6 hours you only get 4 hours of sleep. On paper you can pull over go to sleep for a few hours get up and go again. Most big company's is the only ones out killing people and shit and they're on elogs..yall are just idiots like the government

[@RumbleTouchDroid]

Justin Kirkland did you just call me a dumbass and misspell the word you're? This pretty much voids your opinion. If you don't like the government and think the government in America "are idiots" you are welcome to try one in another country.

[@jq122760]

The only eld I've ever used is the KT. I'm changing jobs and was just wondering if you're able to edit your hours in the KT app? I could change my hours from a week ago, even if I had signed it. It was actually better than a logbook because I didn't have to write everything by hand. I've had several inspections and I would show them the previous weeks logs and never had an issue. Maybe my electronic unit wasn't working correctly? Just wondering what your experience is with editing your hours? Thanks for the video!

I like how you do your videos jack I'm getting to be a owner operator .

[@albertoarcaserz5589]

Really nice video, thanks,

[@carolduffy6575]

What do you do if you're only driving local most of the time, which doesn't even require logging, but maybe every couple weeks you're delivering loads for two or three days that do require logging?

[@indianajack]

+Carol Duffy you don't have to log your hours if that is the case.

[@carolduffy6575]

Well, this month we have driven over the 8 days alotted in the past 30 days, so I understand we do have to have logs for those days. We've had probably ten days of all day driving this month. Otherwise, we're just delivering grain within the 100 miles radius and don't need logs over that.

[@silviojuarez7801]

Okay thanks. I have another question. I try to connect my ELD, but I only have a 7 pin connector. My truck is a Volvo 2005. What can I do about it? Any suggestion?

[@indianajack]

What brand of ELD do you have? Like, the software part.

[@yurytelegin1162]

should i have one gps device, one separate tablet device for eld and phone.... 3 devices??? in the truck??

[@burakemreakdik2125]

So will that ELD device take driving and resting info directly through truck like European tachograph? or driver have to put everything manually?

[@indianajack]

+burakemre akdik it is all automatic except for going off duty you have to manually select that function.

[@baikerboy2010]

Is it still fully editable with eld connected or only if you use the app??

[@Vagabond_Etranger]

baikerboy2010 If you can access the power cord, you are in control. Unplug it before doing doing anything illegal. Set your status to OD or sleeper. Drive around town or truck stop. If cop stops you, say you're within 100 miles radius of your terminal & NOT required to log. Anytime you want to be legal again, come to a stop. Plug it in. Update staus. Drive. Need to save your hours? Say you're a few miles from the truck stop, pull over & stop, unplug it, set status to sleeper, drive to the truck stop for the night. Same with not waiting the full 10 hours.

+Jeffery Punches that is a good question Jeff. The unit will still function but in a limited way. It does not use much Wifi data but it does use a lot of Bluetooth communicating with the ELD. I almost have to keep it plugged in all day long.

Keith Kmilek Yeah i figured to slide it all the way to the right side of the dashboard. Looks like the cord is long enough. But my trucks a 96 W900L 3406e Cat ( I know nobody ask me all that...lol) so until they close that loop hole im on paper! And knowing big brother i wont be surprised if they do.

[@dprrn]

If you really wanted to hide it, there is sometimes space behind the gauge cluster and space behind some other panels of the dash that it can be mounted to where it can still get accurate gps signal. you just gotta be brave enough to take apart the panels and carefully get them back together.

[@indianajack]

+Davis Ta that's a good question but I'm not really sure. Hopefully someone else that reads this will know the answer.

[@rogervoss4877]

Guessin' that you would each have your own tablet to pair with the ELD, just as you had individual log books. Or maybe the App can have two driver's logs on one. ONE ELD for both, in either case. Just learning this system, supposed to be up & Runnin' by Monday - as usual, should be "Interesting".

avlisk there’s different version of an ELD it’s like a brand, most popular is Qualcomm,peoplenet, and zonar which companies usually install in their fleets.
