Complying with FMCSA ELD mandates doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. The Garmin eLog ELD offers a straightforward, one-time purchase solution to ensure your Hours of Service (HOS) recording is fully compliant. Forget subscription fees and ongoing costs – with Garmin eLog, you simply buy it, install it, and drive with confidence.
Broad Compatibility for Various Semi-Trucks
걱정이 없습니다. The Garmin eLog device is engineered for broad compatibility, supporting both 9-pin J1939 and 6-pin J1708 diagnostic ports. This means that straight out of the box, it’s ready to integrate with almost any semi-truck. Installation is a breeze: just plug in the Garmin eLog device and download the free Garmin eLog™ app. You’ll be ready to hit the road with a compliant ELD solution in minutes. It’s important to note: While the term “OBD2” is sometimes used broadly in vehicle diagnostics, Garmin eLog for semi-trucks is specifically designed for J1939 and J1708 protocols, not OBD2 (SAE J1979) which is more common in light-duty vehicles. For Volvo Trucks with a Volvo engine using a 16-pin J1962 configuration, a readily available 16-pin to 9-pin adapter cable (sold separately) is required.
Seamless Integration with Your dēzl™ Truck Navigator
Enhance your driving experience by pairing Garmin eLog™ with your compatible Garmin dēzl GPS truck navigator (sold separately). Models like the dēzl 580, dēzl 780, and dēzlCam 785 are fully compatible, allowing you to conveniently view duty status and HOS information directly on your navigator’s display. For some dēzl navigators, viewing remaining hours on the display requires a connection to a smartphone or tablet¹. This integration provides a centralized dashboard for essential driving information.
FMCSA Compliance You Can Trust
With Garmin eLog, you can be assured that your HOS recording is fully compliant with FMCSA ELD mandates. The device automatically and accurately logs driving time, providing easy access to driver duty status. At a glance, you can quickly see your remaining driving hours for the day or week, helping you manage your schedule effectively and stay within legal limits.
Free Garmin eLog App for Complete Control
Download the free Garmin eLog app to your compatible smartphone or tablet¹ to unlock the full potential of your compliance solution. The app complements the Garmin eLog device, providing a user-friendly interface for managing your logs and accessing important information.
Secure Records Ready for Inspection
Your records are securely stored on your compatible smartphone¹, ensuring your data is always accessible to you and never stored in the cloud. Using the free Garmin eLog app, your records are readily viewable whenever you need them. When the time comes for a roadside inspection, retrieving your records is simple and efficient via USB flash drive or through FMCSA web services over Bluetooth¹. This ensures a smooth and hassle-free inspection process.
