## What is iDDL USA?

Mobile Warrior created iDDL USA from the perspective of the driver.  Many other systems have created their systems based on the equipment, i.e. Power Unit & Trailer.  As a result, many systems hardwire their black box and tablet directly into the Power Unit.  Our solution, right down to the black box (ELD device), is portable and easily changed by the driver to a new unit, such as a rental truck, if needed.  

Here are some of the advantages of the iDDL USA driver log system:

•	An e-log HOS system that is adjustable like a paper log (less the eraser marks)
o	The number one reason we hear from drivers that are hesitant to move from paper logs is that they cannot make changes or correct mistakes as needed.  That is not the case with our system.  If you forgot to go off duty after a long week on the road that is easily updated without external assistance.
•	Flexible: We can accommodate nearly any logging workflow – effortlessly
o	Tracking IFTA is easy and even automated with our ELD system.  
o	Need to photo-document a truck issue, documents, receipts or other paper items?  You can attach those within our system by using the camera or scanned image making tracking easy.
•	Compliance and reporting are the heart of iDDL USA.
o	Reports on driver logs, inspections, and others as dictated in the future are available to be printed (printer required), emailed, as a PDF, and shown on screen.  
o	We sync with the cloud for access to records requested in a DOT audit without the driver needing to regularly send their logs in or the company having to scan and/or archive them.
o	If a truck fails inspection the mechanic can login to our admin web portal once repairs are complete and perform a passed inspection.
•	Proven 7-9% increase in driver productivity (save 3-5 hours/week with compliance)
o	Our driver’s logs & inspections are so easy and quick to complete we can save you hours a week over using paper.
•	Over 45 Rulesets preloaded – the most in the industry 
o	Some of our rulesets include:
o	Oil Fields for Canada, US, & Mexico
o	Passenger
o	Motion Picture
o	Agricultural 
o	California
o	Canada
o	Mexico
o	Texas
o	Just to name a few!
•	Redundancy and memory at the ELD Device, Phone or Tablet, and in the cloud ensuring records are saved even when connectivity is limited
o	To ensure none of your records are lost due to poor network connectivity or a missed Bluetooth connection each stage of our system remembers the data it is accumulating and transmits it once connectivity is restored.
•	Customizable driver inspection checklist
o	If you need to make additions or changes to the standard inspection checklist this can be done by the user without programming.  For example if you drive a motor coach you can add bathroom, cargo and other items that go above compliance and safety.
•	OPTIONAL: Add our fully featured in-cab Bluetooth device for 100% ELD Compliance.
o	We provide an affordable, custom-built, portable black box (ELD device) that seamlessly connects with your phone or tablet via Bluetooth which in turn syncs with the cloud providing compliance with the upcoming ELD Mandate from the FMCSA.

### 3/5 — Driver

*2016-01-09*

Now crashes after update :(

### 2/5 — Crash after 2016

*2016-01-03*

The app crashes as soon as I open it. I haven't used it in about a month due to job change. Very disappointed that now I'm ready to use it again and I got nothing

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-01-01*

Current version after update crashes. Won't open.

### 3/5 — Won't print

*2014-07-21*

Says it is syncing to cloud and never finishes. Tried wifi and hotspot.

### 2/5 — Only got 2 instead of 5

*2014-04-03, version 2.41*

Let me say first, THIS IS AN EXCELLENT APP! However, no where in ANY of the description does the maker of this app say it is SUBSCRIPTION BASED! And $14.95 USD a month is more then QUALCOMM charges. Deleted for deceptive business practices.

### 5/5 — Great app for simplifying record keeping

*2014-01-28*

The is a simple app for logging and organizing other daily records. It's not sold as an electronic log, but sure beats a pen and paper. At a roadside inspection last week, the officer said it was fine. Customer support is the best I have had from any app.

### 1/5 — One of the worst apps I have ever used.  Locks up constantly

*2014-01-22*

Despite constant updates this app continues to lock up.  Loses your information. And after speaking with several DOT officers it is completely useless since it is not a legal log.  DOT WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS AS YOUR DAILY LOG!!!  Ask questions and check it out for yourself!!  

My company insists we use this app to submit our logs yet DOT says it is not legal. The company will not back up any log violations as a result of using this app.

### 4/5 — The jack of all trades

*2013-11-19*

I have been using this app on my iPhone for about year and it has improved since it's original version. It's very well put together strait forward and the log info is more than enough to satisfy any DOT officer but what I really like about this app is that I don't have to pull out the pen and a ruler every single time I stop customer service is very good always got a response back

### 1/5 — Crash

*2013-10-16, version 2.38*

App kept crashing and forcing shutdown.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-09-13*

This is a fantastic app for reconciling my log, and the tech support is top-notch; today I couldn't sign in, so I called them, and they said that the server was down and apologized. I later got a call from them when it was back up and running
