ELD, HOS board and load boards
Connect your ELD to see drivers' hours. Connect a load board for rate checks.
How integrations work here
- Only the owner can connect things in Admin › Integrations (Admin group). Dispatchers can read the HOS board.
- FleetDesk never shows made-up data. Nothing appears until you save real credentials and the provider answers.
- Your credentials are stored encrypted and only used when you press a button.
Connect your ELD (Samsara or Motive)Owner
- Get an API token from your ELD provider. The Integrations page says exactly where to find it. In Samsara it is Settings, Developer, API Tokens (with read access to ELD compliance settings). In Motive an admin creates an API key under Settings, Developers with hours of service read access.
- Open Admin › Integrations and find your provider card. Fill in the fields and tap Save credentials.
- Tap Test connection to check the token works.
- Tap Enable.
- Tap Sync HOS now. You land on the HOS board with your drivers' hours.
The button on each card also shows the last result, such as when it last synced. Disable pauses it and Disconnect deletes the saved credentials.
HOS board
Fleet & Drivers › HOS Board shows each driver's remaining Drive left, Shift left and Cycle left, their duty status and when the number was fetched.
- It is the last sync, not live. The owner can tap Sync HOS now on the Integrations page for fresh numbers.
- Drivers are matched to your FleetDesk drivers by their exact name. If one shows not matched, rename the driver in FleetDesk to match the ELD.
- Drive left under 2 hours is shown in red.
- Your ELD is always the official record. FleetDesk only shows what the ELD last reported.
If you haven't connected an ELD, the board says No ELD data yet. That is normal.
Load boardsOwner
Three load board cards are available. Be aware of what works today:
| Provider | What you can do now |
|---|---|
| Truckstop | Save your Truckstop API credentials, test, enable and run a Lane rate check (origin, destination and equipment). It shows an estimated rate and range. |
| DAT One | Save and verify your DAT service account. Load search is not switched on yet; it needs DAT's approval. |
| 123Loadboard | Save your credentials once they approve your application. Testing and search are not available yet. |
The rate check is under the Truckstop card once it's connected and enabled. Type the cities and states, pick the equipment and tap Check rate.
Good to know
Each card explains what the provider requires, usually an application with the provider. FleetDesk can't load-search on DAT or 123Loadboard until they approve it.
