BigRoad ELD vs ELD GO

BigRoad ELD provides driver logs and hours-of-service tracking through a mobile app, with fleet tracking, communications and violation notifications in its web app. DashLink hardware is required: it connects to a vehicle’s diagnostic port and sends engine data to the mobile app over Bluetooth for ELD logging. BigRoad says its ELD is registered on the FMCSA ELD list and third-party certified by FPInnovations for Canadian ELD. Drivers can use offline logging, show logs in roadside inspection mode or send them to safety officials. Log events may be edited within regulatory limits, after which the driver must recertify that log day. The mobile app runs on Android 8 or higher and iOS 12.0 or higher smartphones and tablets, but not on a laptop. BigRoad describes its customers as owner-operators and fleet-owning businesses across North America. A free trial is listed, but pricing is on request. The company says it began in Waterloo, Canada, in 2011 and was acquired by Fleet Complete in 2017.

ELD GO combines driver logs, fleet visibility, safety tools, and routine fleet operations in one system. Drivers can record driving activity, review duty status, and maintain hours-of-service logs for certification. Fleet views show vehicle locations, route activity, and selected geofence events. Alerts highlight approaching limits, violations, and records requiring attention. The system supports vehicle inspection reports and keeps records available for roadside review. Mileage is organized by jurisdiction to support quarterly IFTA reporting. Drivers and dispatchers can communicate inside the system, while document tools scan, store, and retrieve fleet records. The driver app runs on iOS and Android, and required ELD hardware connects through common vehicle ports. ELD GO is FMCSA-registered and supports inspection workflows. Its product lineup also includes asset trackers, dash camera systems, and fuel cards. Setup guides, driver help, inspection references, manuals, and contact support are listed resources. Pricing is on request. Owner-operators, growing fleets, and compliance teams can submit sales, setup, product, or support requests through the contact form.
