- See how to install the KEEP TRUCKIN ELD App in a Volvo Truck. All the way from the wiring to the ECM to the pairing of the Bluetooth ELD device, see it all.
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!
+walter adamski I remember that as a kid also. Thanks for watching Walt's wife. :-)
Thanks for the info. Keep up the great work on line, you make stuff a lot easier to understand. Be safe.
Enjoyed the video. Nice of you to offer to help people, IndianaJack.
Fantastic job on doing the ELD cheers from Australia
BTW Jack, nice install. You make everything you do look easy.😉
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
Thank You Jack Nice Video Hope For The Best In Life Watching From Vancouver BC Canada
Well done Jack. You do make it look less intimidating. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for such a great info . I really needed it as I am starting as owner operator. God bless
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.
Indiana Jack of all Trades.
Thank you sir for sharing the info, just install and connected like you did...!
Thanks for the video Jack!
Thank you my brother I really appreciate 🙏🏻
Thanks for an informative video!
If you are able - it would be interesting to see a presentation of different types of ELDs and how they are installed.
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!
Thx for the vid jack!
good video, thanks Mr Jack
good guy jack, keep safe out there
Good video I like your information
Big brother and now little sister is watching! lol
Rain Coast Yes, Big Brother 1984!
Stay safe and thank you.
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?
Really nice video, thanks,
Thank you very much for the video
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
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!
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.
+Buddy Carroll glad to hear that Buddy. Let me know how the installation goes. Not just for me but everyone else who is watching.
Good video Jack. I'm still rolling my old 93 Peterbilt 379 ELD Free..😎👌
What happened to you in Shreveport ?
Thank you brother 🙏🙏
I like how you do your videos jack I'm getting to be a owner operator .
Don't mind the ELD . Just let me take my brakes when I want like the old day
Very much appreciate this particular vid. Answers many questions.
Thanks
P.s. why did you take the company's eld out? Did you quit cr england or did they give you a choice?
Trucker Daddy he's got the truck paid for and left knight a year ago. He's owner op with Traveloko.
Indiana Jack Love your Videos i have few questions about your eld how is it working for you and how much do you pay for it .please advise.my eld will be out of business in next few weeks and i have to get new one asap.
thank you and be safe out there ...
Nice turorial Jack.. Drive safe.
Still looking good
Excellent video I'm familiar with keep trucking app already that was a very good instructional video too bad I can't stand Eld thank you very much
+Robert Lucus I am not a big fan of the fact that you can't drive faster than 4 miles an hour without it putting you on the driving line. Supposedly they are going to fix that in the next update.
Do you need to use phone data(hotspot) for it to record ur logs? Or can you use bluetooth n no internet?
Great job. No wonder my father recommended I watch your video my than his. He also a o.t.r driver.
Also told me to add your one of the best and safest out there and a big thank you for the videos.
Thank you so much.
Hey Jack thanks for this awesome video, I'm just wondering what exact model are you using for that iPad
+Waseem Abdelaziz it is the newest iPad Mini. Any iPad will work.
indianajacktrucker sounds good thanks bud
's Do you guys maybe know if it's possible to work with two companies (KeepTrucking, and one more) in the same time? To unplug one company's device when you go overtime, and plug the other company's device?
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...
Gracias amigo por tu ayuda esto es un dolor de cabasa.
Hey jack. Do you need a data signal the whole time your driving ?
Thank you 🙏
Way cool.Thank you.
Where did you get the mount for your mini ipad i need one for a tablet. Good video. Hope this new reg. Dont destroy ous. For now just keep praying loads come up
+Cuban3000 it's my old Mount from my Qualcomm
What kind of mount are you using for the iPad?
HI from down under new zealand
G'day from down under Australia lol
Thank you!
What ipad mount are you using? Thanks in advance!
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
Good job
Very interesting video and jes they have too activate it, this sometimes happens with modems aswel.
Will I need data on my iPad to run keep trucking?
Good video
You said that right. Shreveport.
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.
Does it use your internet as u are going down the road
Thanks Indiana Jones
What happens if you have to switch trucks? Can you easily move the ELD to a Loaner or Rental truck?
rodkneed rentals like Penske are not required to have Elds
Does the tablet have to have cellular service or is it just used as a screen
nice video
How come u install ELD under dash.. i got mine but it goes inside fuse box.
I.purcased one of these and after two days I was on the phone with support trying to fiqure out what was wrong with the dam thing... been having issues with it since I purchased it..
Olde Red becomes Tech Red! 🚘 Looks like you’re do a ride-a-long at 3:39. Stay SAFE!
Can someone please tell me if i have to leave my ELD connected always? Does it affect the battery?
Love this app! Way better than paper or randmncrappy
should i have one gps device, one separate tablet device for eld and phone.... 3 devices??? in the truck??
Thanks You sir for your time, very helpful!
Jack, thanks for the video. If you're a company driver, who is responsible for buying an ELD?
Keep Trucking does not provide the hardware? I believe you mention you are using your IPAD?
Where did you get your pad bracket? it looks like a good strong set up.
Last question: How do you like Keep Trucking so far?
thanks for the video
The only part they provide is the ELD itself, the part you saw me install. I already had the mount leftover from my old Qualcom.
On your iPad Mini what model is it how do you like it so far and can you use it set up for Wi-Fi or does it have to be through a phone Carrier? Thank you
+Kevin Hildreth I like it and it is set up as a Wi-Fi model
My company has that same keep truckin looks very simple to use
Do you have any info on issues on a 2015 Volvo? Mine do not read the miles or RPM, therefore does not go on drive... Had Qualcomm in it and when driving the truck would not run properly.... Volvo blames the ELD companies and vise versa... please help
So will that ELD device take driving and resting info directly through truck like European tachograph? or driver have to put everything manually?
+burakemre akdik it is all automatic except for going off duty you have to manually select that function.
How much did you pay for the device ?
Does it have any monthly subscription ?
Ok many thanks
Where did you get the hardware you for the keep trucking app. I use that app too
+Sidney Salinas you call them and they will mail it to you
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..
Ramman I agree with you
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.
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.
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?
What brand of ELD do you have? Like, the software part.
Thanks
How well does the Keep truckin app eld work? How much do they charge for the service?
Are you still interested to know about Motive KT
i love you man
another episode of this old truck with capin Jack
Is it still fully editable with eld connected or only if you use the app??
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.
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
Ellis Reyes good. leave. we don't need you whining ol timers anymore.
Rumble Truckin to each their own
Only a very unwise man would make this remark. Shame on you and to your very unwelcome demise. I pity you!
Ellis Reyes I agree, gubnet screws everything up, Big Brother 1984
He's been driving for 7 years that don't make him an old timer. I've been at it for well over 20 years, now I'm an old timer. I don't mind e-logs at all. Drive stop and push a button. Easy.
I drive motorcoaches for a living
I wonder if exemptions apply for a motorcoach that is older than 1999 as well.....
Driveaway / towaway is exempt
from 1999 and older... YOUR ARE EXEMPT.
You still out there driving motorcoachs?
Jack, I feel your pain. Jumping through the hoops. We must make it happen. You mentioned Shreveport. I recommend the book. "Go Down Together: The true story of Bonnie And Clyde" by Jeff Guin. I watched your video of when you were in Gibsland, LA however, there is much much more to the story. I encourage you to obtain a copy of the book. It's extremely interesting and very informative and is most certainly, the real story.

How much was the hardware and is there a monthly fee
It’s been over a year now. Please tell me how you like the unit.
I still love Keeptruckin it is one of my favorite apps.
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?
+Carol Duffy you don't have to log your hours if that is the case.
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.
from another ELD provider they page show different wires harnesses an Plugs For KW, Peterbilt, Volvo, international, so swapping truck to truck would mean new equipment it's rubiks cube for trucking ..
Do you have KeepTruckin
U look good ahhhhhhhhh...........already recover............
to keep going, you either hafta go team, or be happy being parked all the time, that's what the major carriers want, us, out of business, or governed by their company policy
Does your ipad/tablet have to be connected to internet to use app? Once app is downloaded, do you need consistent internet to keep using app? If i buy a tablet to use, do I nees a wireless plan is what I am getting at? Or can i use internet from home, download app, and use in truck? Any info will help. Thank you
+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.
Thank you sir. I appreciate it!
Jeff, you'll be paying for that App a monthly $ and you're cell phone bill will go up too, unless you're company is reimbursing you for the cost?
I notice you have been using that for a time, Is there a line 5 for doing what you want to do. Like going home
+James Baxter yes it has a way to do personal conveyance
Thanks. I like watching you. You don''t use the words that a lot of drivers do
Yes but bobtail only. No trailer, chasy etc..
Ok, Nice
And can I use a table with no data ? Or I have to pay internet to my tablet ?
You have to have internet
