Carrier-Neutral ELD Telematics Integration

Dispatchers should see the same duty clocks drivers see in the cab before they assign the next leg. Carrier-neutral architecture prevents ELD vendor lock-in at the TMS layer.

Engineering Overview

EXSPEEDITE normalizes telematics payloads into a single driver duty model. Webhooks update clocks within seconds; dispatch rules block assignments that would violate available drive or cycle hours.

Operational Workflow

Step 1

Authorize OAuth API tenants

Connect each ELD vendor with scoped tokens per operating company.

Step 2

Map drivers and equipment

Match ELD driver IDs to payroll records and tractor units in the TMS master data.

Step 3

Stream webhooks to dispatch

Ingest location, duty status, and diagnostic events on the load timeline.

Step 4

Display pre-dispatch HOS widgets

Show remaining 11-hour drive, 14-hour window, and 70-hour cycle before assign click.

Step 5

Feed IFTA and maintenance modules

Reuse breadcrumbs for state splits and engine fault DVIR workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does EXSPEEDITE replace the ELD provider?

No. EXSPEEDITE is the operational TMS brain; ELD vendors remain the FMCSA-certified recording device.

Can mixed fleets use more than one ELD?

Yes. Carrier-neutral ingestion supports multiple vendors inside one dispatch grid.

What latency is acceptable for HOS clocks?

Sub-minute webhook latency is ideal so dispatchers never assign against stale duty status.

How are personal conveyance miles handled?

Personal conveyance segments should be tagged in the ELD; TMS mileage for revenue moves excludes PC when configured correctly.
