Split sleeper
Did the update and turned split sleeper on. Still doesn’t work. I was in the sleeper for 2:47 yesterday evening, drove until midnight, then took another 8 hours off and it didn’t reset, so now I’m not going to make it before the facility closes, and I’ll be stuck for the day. It isn’t supposed to matter what order the breaks fall in, or if they fall on 2 different calendar days, as long as it’s the same shift. I used to split my sleeper all the time for tricky appointments, but not anymore.Show lessBeckst3
Easy to understand
With this career field we always need to be up to date and tech savvy and keep up with the current advances of technology but samsara displays it very pleasingly to the customer, thank you!stevieg718
The app works well, but…
There’s a terrible ding notification that happens when the app is prompting you to change status. This startling sound happens even with notifications turned off, and the phone on silent mode. I’m so sick of the mini heart attacks I have every time. It puts me in a bad mental state and completely disrupts my thoughts. I’m going to have my whole fleet write a similar review on every platform available until this is changed.
Also, one should be able to see a rout overview on a map within the app, instead of having to use a browser or the fleet app.Show lessItunesnotacceptingmyname
Good
Great appJames jsjzjajwnxn
Best ELD log I’ve ever used
The thing that I love the most is that it gives you the routes and gives you directions to the destination.
I also love that I can upload the BOL’s to get paid. Without having to trip pak or transflo.
One weakness is that you do need a cell phone or equivalent to use itsimtim88
It gets stupid in personal conveyance mode
Still has a bug or 2. Mostly satisfied with it. When you use personal conveyance mode it will sometimes automatically put you back in driving mode. Or it will prompt you every minute or to asking if you want to switch modes. If you don’t answer immediately it will switch you automatically.PapaG9
Works great
Never had any issues. Definitely one of the best ELDs out there. Easy to figure out and make adjustments if needed. One bug is that when I first open the app it doesn’t automatically detect my location and I manually have to put it. Other than that works greatFrankiejayy
Samsara in a Penske truck
In a Penske loaner until my new truck is delivered. Used the Penske ELD phone app for a few months. It was connected by Bluetooth. Difficult to connect to the truck and lost connection 2 or 3 times a day. Very frustrating. Been using Samsara for about 3 weeks now. So far so good. Easy to connect and it stays connected even when I walk away from the truck. Very user friendly.Show lessHoosierhauler
Recapped hrs of service
At the end of a 70hr week, your hours you preform earlier that week are not shown so you can plan to work off of recapped hour’s.. violations appear for no real reason at times, I now just ignore them. Not enough information for serious drivers. Recapped hours on the daily 14hr clock would be most helpful as well if, you could see that as well. It’s just a functional app my company usesShow less$sl!m
U can run but u can’t hide
Let’s days this, we have always heard of the old saying that, you can run but you can’t hide? Do what right and is expected and then the app will show your true intentionsIbenpolite
