ENCOMPASS® ELD

J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc.

About this app

The J. J. Keller® Encompass® ELD app is the industry’s most simple, flexible and affordable driver electronic log available. Formerly known as KellerMobile, this patented ELD mandate-compliant solution is used by commercial motor vehicle drivers to electronically capture hours-of-service duty status information, replacing the driver’s paper log book. The app uses a driver-friendly interface to present hours-of-service data to drivers, helping them optimize their on-duty and driving hours and reducing the risk of violations. The solution works with class 1-8 vehicles and offers many industry and state-specific HOS rulesets, accommodating exempt, non-regulated, hyrail and team drivers.

The Encompass® ELD app is compliant with ELD (Part 395 Subpart B and Part 395 Appendix) rules. The electronic logging device is on the FMCSA ELD registry. The Encompass® ELD app is part of the J. J. Keller® Encompass® Fleet Management System, which uses the J. J. Keller® electronic logging device and the Encompass® back office portal.

HOW DOES IT WORK:
Hours-of-service and telematics data is captured from the engine via a hardline adapter from the engine’s diagnostic port into the ELD hardware. The hardware continuously records and stores engine data. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth from the hardware to the Encompass® ELD application on drivers’ Android™ devices. Hours-of-service data and alerts are presented to the drivers in real time using compliance rulesets determined by the company. Data from the Android™ device is transmitted via cellular connection to the Encompass® online back office for hours-of-service auditing, reporting and recordkeeping.

Ratings and reviews

Is difficult to connect to when trying to log in to a vehicle! It will lose connection and then you have to try to reconnect again several times until it connects. It keeps you on driving even after you have parked. The 3 circles stay and you are not able to change your status manually. Very frustrating app for a driver!!!! Dispatchers are not able to get real time location of the vehicles. Or it will show it in some other place then it actually is.

The app is getting a little better, I raised by 1 star from 2 to 3. Suggestion: We don't always log in to the truck to start our on duty time. Sometimes we are just working on something, or checking chains or whatever. The point being, it would be nice if the app would just start and we could connect to a truck later if we had to, instead of waiting for it to find a truck that's not there for 5 minutes, before going on duty.

Bought it for myself to get ready for December deadline. Was sceptical if I would like it. After using it I wish I would have gotten it sooner. Works great. Nice for doing multiple stop loads. Log in and done. Automatically switch from driving to on duty at stops. And back to driving when truck moves. Inspection reports done quickly. At end of day no figuring hours or miles app does it all. I love it!! Still working great 12/19
