The news hit that ONE20 ELD abruptly ceased its business operations on May 18, 2018, leaving its ELD customers stranded with devices that stopped functioning. The company’s division shut down without offering any preliminary notice or customer support for the transition, kicking their users to the curb with a meek ‘End of Duty’ message.
As we continue to improve our mobile application for the best possible hours-of-service logging, we’ve added some new features: Alberta hours-of-service (HOS) rule set, Canadian Federal Oilfield exemption, and assigning ‘unidentified driving’. Make sure to update your BigRoad Mobile App to see these add-ons!
