What is BYOD?

BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, allows drivers to use their personal or company-issued smartphones or tablets to manage Hours of Service (HOS) and ensure ELD compliance. With GPS Insight’s BYOD solution, you get flexibility, lower costs, and a faster path to compliance—without compromising on reliability or support.

🚛 Benefits for Fleet Managers

  1. Lower Hardware Costs: BYOD eliminates the need to buy and manage dedicated tablets. Drivers use their own devices, significantly reducing capital expenses and replacement costs.

  2. Fast, Hassle-Free Deployment: Drivers can download the ELD app from the App Store or Google Play and get started in minutes—no shipping delays or installation downtime.

  3. Easy to Scale: Perfect for fleets of any size—from five trucks to five thousand. Adding or removing drivers doesn’t require new hardware—just configure and go.

  4. Reduced Maintenance Overhead: No dedicated hardware means fewer devices to manage, replace, or troubleshoot. Software updates are pushed remotely, minimizing IT burden.

  5. Seamless Compliance: Our BYOD ELD meets all FMCSA standards. Even if a Bluetooth connection drops temporarily, the system continues logging and syncs automatically when reconnected.

🛣️ Benefits for Drivers

  1. Familiar Devices, Faster Onboarding: Drivers use their own smartphones or tablets—devices they already know and trust. That means a shorter learning curve and fewer tech frustrations.

  2. One Device, All Tasks: No juggling between personal phones and fleet-issued tablets. BYOD simplifies the driver’s workday with fewer devices and more convenience.

  3. Stay Connected—Anywhere Around the Truck: Thanks to stable Bluetooth connections, drivers can step out of the cab for inspections without interrupting their ELD session. All data continues logging in the background.

  4. Smooth Reconnection and Reliable Logging: If a Bluetooth drop happens, there’s no need to panic. The ELD logs continue internally, and the system auto-reconnects—no manual steps required.

  5. Upload Documents On-the-Go: Drivers can easily upload fuel receipts and important documents from their devices right into the ELD Complete app, keeping operations efficient and organized.
