BigRoad ELD vs Transflo Mobile+ ELD

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.

Transflo Mobile+ ELD is a trucking app for professional drivers, available on Android, iOS, and the web. It handles document capture and processing, load decisions, driver-fleet messaging, and location tracking after a driver accepts a load. Hours of Service support requires a Transflo T7 ELD device. The electronic-document portal digitizes and tracks bills of lading and proof of delivery with digital signatures. CoPilot Truck adds truck-specific routing, offline navigation, restricted-road avoidance, and real-time traffic information. Fleetworthy provides bypass notices and instructions for more than 800 weigh stations and mobile inspection sites across 46 states and provinces, without a transponder. Other listed integrations include Drivewyze, CAT Scale Weigh My Truck, myPilot, and Love's Connect. Transflo says the app can be configured for fleet workflows, compliance requirements, and integrations. Use requires fleet or broker authorization and a Fleet or Broker ID. Mobile+ 7.1 supports Android 9 or newer and iOS 14 or newer. Pricing is on request; premium add-ons are available.
