Free ELD apps are available but often come with limitations. While the app itself may not cost anything, using it typically requires compatible hardware, which is not free, or a subscription plan for data storage, compliance updates, and customer support. For example, some providers advertise free ELD apps but require purchasing their devices or subscribing to their service plans.

TruckX’s ELD system combines hardware and an intuitive mobile app that allows drivers to log Hours of Service (HOS) easily, track routes, and maintain compliance effortlessly. Our subscription plans ensure drivers and fleets have access to regular updates, 24/7 on-call customer support, and seamless integration with fleet management systems.
