One Star for Effort – Geotab Drive Review

One star for effort - at least they are on the right track for ELD compliance. Plus, they finally updated the app so it remembers what truck the device is in. Half way there - it is still worthless if your fleet is slip seating or if devices are fixed to a truck (rather than assigned to the driver driver). If your drivers slip seat or share devices you better hope that your drivers can navigate through the menus to log out of the current user and login with their credentials using an overly complex login method. Why not employ the use of ID numbers and PINs to login once the device has been connected to the database using secure credentials? It doesn't have to be the only method of logging in. But as it stands this is still very cumbersome to navigate the UI. One last rant... why, Why, WHY doesn't this app report who is driving!? It attaches the driver's name to HOS and DVIR but if I look at my map using the website it doesn't know who is driving the truck. We still have to manually ID the driver by clicking the truck icon on the map and assign the driver. I guess I'm frustrated with the app because it doesn't live up to the GeoTab name - the best telematic solution in the industry.
