No – ELD tracks Hours of Service and truck location – Required to have hardware in truck – CabFiles tracks DOT paperwork – Driver Qualification – Also required but different law – 49 CFR Part 391 – Most fleets have ELD like Motive or Samsara but still fail audit because DQ file missing – We fix that – We integrate with your ELD – Not replace it
Hardware and Tracking
4No hardware needed – Ever – FMCSA does NOT require hardware for DQ files – Your ELD already has hardware hardwired to engine – CabFiles is paperwork layer on top – No device to buy at $200 per truck, no device to break in Texas heat, no install – Works even when truck in shop – More reliable because no hardware to fail
We don't track trucks – Your ELD does – Real fleets use hardwired ELD – Motive, Samsara, KeepTruckin – Device plugged into diagnostic port under dash – Has own GPS chip and cellular modem – Powered by truck battery – Works even if driver turns off phone, airplane mode, throws phone away – If driver unplugs ELD you get tamper alert and unassigned driving alert in 5 minutes – CabFiles syncs driver list from that ELD – So driver cannot hide – His paperwork still monitored from office
Yes – 100 percent accepted – FMCSA auditors never ask for hardware when checking DQ files – They ask – Show me MVR within 15 days of hire? Show me your annual Clearinghouse query record? Show me medical not expired? A clean digital file with the dates attached is what they want – They prefer cloud over paper in glovebox that gets lost
No problem – Driver does not need smartphone for compliance – Safety manager manages file from office on computer – Driver can still upload document via a simple secure link – Safety manager shares the link – Driver taps link – Takes photo of license – Done – No app install required – Works on flip phone with camera – If driver has smartphone he can Add to Home Screen in 5 seconds – Works like native app offline
