Truckbase, a trucking dispatch software system, recently integrated more than 30 ELD providers. The company can now surface truck tracking data directly into its trucking dispatch software and customer notifications.
"Our mission has always been to help small carriers out-compete megacarriers on quality through turnkey technology," said Bryan Jones, founder and CEO of Truckbase. "Most small fleets don't have time to worry about which ELDs integrate with your software. It should just work."

Choosing the best ELD requires time to consider quality, support, and price that makes sense for your fleet. Comparing ELD options and TMS options simultaneously can be difficult for small-fleet owners. As a result, most small fleets are not taking full advantage of their ELD by tying into their dispatch software.
"Integrating our Motive ELD with Truckbase was very easy," said Solomiya Tomkiv, director at Nica's Freight. "It's incredible for dispatch to see real-time truck location in our TMS and to share live tracking with customers with a single click or automatically."
While the ELD device itself is primarily about compliance, combining it with load data and documents can automate dispatch workflows. These capabilities can now be accessed through Truckbase's new ELD integrations.
