About this app

More than an electronic logbook for HOS and ELD compliance, Samsara Driver is the all-in-one hub for fleet operations large and small.

Eliminate paper DVIRs with all-digital inspection reports, stay on track with real-time routing information, and keep in touch with two-way messaging.

Samsara Driver is the perfect companion to the Samsara Vehicle gateway offering vehicle diagnostics, GPS tracking, safety monitoring, dashcams, and an expansive set of trailer sensors.

EASY TO USE
Drivers love our app because we put them first with large buttons, helpful alerts, and an intuitive interface. Most functions are just one or two taps away at any time! The ELD mandate is complicated, but we’re always working to make it simple for drivers to stay compliant with FMCSA regulations!

INSTANT INSPECTION REPORTS
Pre- and post-trip DVIRs have never been easier with detailed defect checklists and camera integration that helps maintenance diagnose problems immediately. Repairs can start as soon as the vehicle returns to the yard to keep you on the road longer!

ROUTING & MESSAGING
Keep everyone in sync with our routing and messaging features providing up-to-the-minute arrival information and ETAs, information for drivers about upcoming stops on a route, and safety-first instant messaging.

NEW IN THIS VERSION:

Streamlined Duty Status Selection: We have redesigned the Duty Status selection screen to help drivers change their duty status more seamlessly.

Simplified HoS Log Edits: We have improved the layout and streamlined the process for editing HoS logs. Now, your drivers will find it easier and quicker to maintain accurate records and stay in compliance.

Improved HoS Dials: Based on your feedback, we added a fourth dial on the HoS screen so drivers can directly see their remaining available drive time.

Faster Vehicle Selection: We want to make it easy for drivers to get into their vehicles and get going. We’re making vehicle selection easier by allowing drivers to see which vehicle hotspot their mobile device is connected to

Enhanced Performance & Design: We’re constantly looking for ways to make our app faster and easier to use. We’ve made a number of performance improvements to reduce transition time between screens, maintain app stability, and improve legibility.

Ratings and reviews

Whenever there is an update, it will kick me into driving mode when I put myself off duty or sleeper. I will continue to do that multiple times. It also doesn't allow you to edit your time (not driving) unless you have to change your status completely, then edit the portion you want, then have to go to the other portion & change it to what is correct as well. Worst ELD I have ever used.

Not very Intuitive/driver friendly and sometimes difficult to navigate. Does't record truck odometer @ status changes so requires a 2nd paper notebook if you must record miles at delivery points. No muscle memory. Doesn't bring up suggestions from past entries in remarks. Must manually input fuel station names and addresses EVERY TIME, even if you've fueled at that location repeatedly. Same with recurring events that must be noted in logs, such as brake check pullouts. Gets real old real fast.

The UI is inefficient. In order to change duty status from the load screen you have to press back at least 3 times. When entering load information it doesn't put the cursor in the only field to fill in information. There isn't a mark all messages read button. It's duplicating messages both on my phone and in the app. It rarely, if ever, sees the truck I'm logging in to. You have to arrive twice to end one load and begin another. A lot of days I have to manually input my location at shift change.
