Keller® Compliance Tablet™.

"Providing fleets with an ELD that is compatible with their existing iPhone®, iPad® or Android™ device reduces up-front hardware costs and eliminates the need for additional data plans," says Rustin Keller, executive vice president and chief operating officer for J. J. Keller & Associates, Inc. “We have many Encompass customers who prefer Apple devices and run multiple applications in support of their business demands. They are loyal to their device and we support their choice."

The mandate requires fleets to use a vendor-certified and FMCSA registered electronic logging device as of December 18, 2017. Proper certification and registration confirm the ELD and associated system is able to accurately capture and store a driver’s hours of service, and make this information usable to enforcement personnel during roadside inspections and audits.

Keller® Encompass® Fleet Management System with ELogs is backed by 65 years of Hours of Service expertise and offers over-the-air updates to ensure quick compliance with regulatory changes.
