Logbook· vs Motive ELD

The ELD that doesn't lease you for three years.

Hours of service for the US and Canada, DVIR, and telemetry intake — running on a $149 one-time connector and $25 a truck a month, not a 36-month lease that renews itself. Cancel whenever you want.

No credit card. Free to start. Replaces Motive & Samsara.

You're locked into a 36-month ELD lease that renews itself.

You signed up for hours-of-service compliance and got a hardware contract instead — $30-60 a truck a month, a multi-year commitment, and a buyout fee if you ever want out. The lease outlives the truck.

What it does

An FMCSA-registered ELD, minus the hardware games.

HOS that just works, US and Canada

Hours-of-service logging built to both countries' rules from day one — no separate Canadian add-on, no guessing which ruleset applies when a driver crosses the border.

No lease, no contract, no catch

$149 for the connector, $25 a truck a month after that. Cancel whenever you want — nobody's holding your trucks hostage for 36 months.

DVIR built into the same app

Pre- and post-trip inspections live right next to the logbook, and every defect a driver flags is already headed to Maintain.

One backend for logs, dispatch, and safety

Your hours, your loads, and your compliance files all read from the same data — no exporting CSVs between three different logins.

Logbook questions, answered.

Do you make your own ELD hardware?+

Not yet — today FleetKit Logbook runs on a one-time $149 connector that plugs into your truck and streams hours, DVIR, and telemetry into the app. FleetKit-certified hardware is coming; either way, you're never locked into a multi-year lease to use it.

Is it compliant for both US and Canadian hours of service?+

Yes — FleetKit Logbook is built to both rule sets from the start, so a driver crossing the border doesn't need a second app or a manual override.

What happens when my Motive or Samsara lease ends?+

Cancel it. Swap the hardware, connect FleetKit, and keep logging — no 36-month commitment waiting for you on the other side.
