FMCSA-certified ELD, real-time GPS, AI dashcam and dispatcher tools — built for carriers running 20 to 200 trucks. No contract. No per-seat fees. No surprise invoices.
Compliance fines, preventable accidents, fuel waste, and shipper detention — each one shaves margin off every load. FIRST ELD puts them all on one screen.
Automated HOS logs and electronic DVIRs keep roadside inspections clean. CSA points drop — insurance premiums follow.
AI dashcam flags distraction, tailgating and harsh braking in real time — before they become a claim.
Quarterly IFTA filings generated from GPS + fuel-card data. No spreadsheets, no missed state-line miles.
Geofenced arrival/departure timestamps prove detention, speed up invoicing, and expose slow receivers.
In-cab voice coaching replaces the after-the-fact phone call. Drivers self-correct; scorecards reward the pros.
Live DTC codes and battery voltage stream off the OBD port — catch a failing alternator before it strands a load.
ELD, GPS, AI dashcam and the dispatcher dashboard ship as one product, one subscription, one login.
FMCSA-registered ELD with automatic HOS recording, electronic DVIRs, and DOT inspection mode. Plugs into the diagnostic port in under 10 minutes.
Live 15-second GPS, geofenced yards, speed, idle time, fuel consumption and engine health — all on the dispatcher map.
Dual-facing camera with on-device AI. Detects distraction, drowsiness, tailgating, rolling stops and harsh events — and coaches the driver in-cab, in real time.
The dispatcher cockpit — live map, logbook review, drivers, vehicles, reports, cameras, billing, users. Unlimited dispatcher seats at no extra charge.
Every tool your ops team touches every day — wired together so data flows between them. Click a tab to preview.
From 1-truck owner-operators to 200-tractor regional carriers. Configured for the way your loads move.
Multi-state compliance, driver coaching on long legs, detention proof at the receiver.
Multi-stop routes, dock doors, tight delivery windows and customer ETAs.
FMCSA compliance without an IT department. One truck or twenty.
Port turns, chassis tracking, yard geofencing and per-move visibility.
The short version: the same telematics — without the enterprise contract, per-seat fees or hardware lock-in.
