BigRoad, a company well-known among drivers for their computer-assisted logging software for smartphones and tablets, will announce the official availability of its DashLink product. The ELD creates driver logs compliant with existing United States and Canadian regulations. The company pitches it to both fleets and owner-operators as an easy and low-cost upgrade that will satisfy the upcoming ELD mandate.
“We wanted to give the industry the easiest and most flexible way to get started with engine-connected electronic logs,” says Terry Frey, BigRoad co-founder and COO. “Unlike existing embedded on-board recorders (EOBRs), we created DashLink so it can be installed in seconds for a very low cost. And it requires no contract to get started.”
DashLink is fully compliant with U.S. AOBRD (CFR 395.15) and Canadian Electronic Recording Device (SOR-2005 313) regulations. It works in conjunction with the BigRoad mobile app to record driving time automatically, ensuring logs are easily and accurately created. The DashLink device is plugged into the truck’s diagnostic port (or otherwise connected to the vehicle’s engine), and the BigRoad app is then used to configure the vehicle for use in engine-connected mode.
