With the ELD mandate now in effect across Canada, there’s a lot of information to be followed to make sure your fleet is compliant. We’ve created a telematics checklist for clients to better understand what they need to be successful on the road!

Equipment requirements

• Geotab GO device
• Geotab Drive Mobile App
• Harness (if applicable)
• MyGeotab database
• Tablet or mobile device
• Mount for mobile device

Tablet requirements*

• LTE compatibility
• 1-2GB of data is often sufficient. Most cell service providers offer tablet bundles or promotions**
• Operates on iOS or Android systems
• Must have a camera for DVIR
• Must be mounted within eyesight of the driver in order to see remaining drive time

*While a cell phone can be used, a tablet is preferable. 

**Northern BI does not provide mobile devices.

Important details to provide for trainings

• The name of who will be the data administrator
• A comprehensive list of which vehicles will be having devices installed

This should include: VIN, license plate, and a list of drivers assigned to the vehicles 

Helpful tips prior to installation

• Create a Google Play/Apple Store account to download Geotab Drive
• Open Geotab Drive app and familiarize yourself prior to the training session
• Installations need to be done and linked back to the database before training
• One person should be set up as the database administrator. We recommend this being someone who has the capability to dedicate their time to monitoring the database
