      FAQ: Is it mandatory to use a tablet to log my hours in the ELD?

      Can I use a device other than a tablet to log my hours in the ELD?

      1. Can a driver use a portable device, a smartphone or any other wireless electronic logging device (ELD)?
        Yes. A driver may use a portable device, a smartphone or any other wireless device if the device meets the ELD technical specifications. A portable ELD must be mounted in a fixed position during commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operation and visible to the driver from a normal seated driving position. (Reference: CCMTA FAQ)
      2. Does Geotab require the purchase of a tablet to work with the ELD?
        No, the Geotab Drive application is available on any smart device with internet access (mobile data plan required)
