The J. J. Keller® Encompass® ELD app is the industry’s most simple, flexible and affordable driver electronic log. Formerly known as KellerMobile, this patented ELD mandate-compliant solution is used by commercial motor vehicle drivers to electronically capture hours-of-service duty status information, replacing the driver’s paper log book. The app uses a driver-friendly interface to present hours-of-service data to drivers, helping them optimize their on-duty and driving hours and reduce the risk of violations. The solution works with class 1-8 vehicles and offers many industry and state-specific HOS rulesets, accommodating exempt, non-regulated, and team drivers. The Encompass® ELD app is compliant with ELD (Part 395 Subpart B and Part 395 Appendix) rules and is listed on the FMCSA ELD registry. The Encompass® ELD app is part of the J. J. Keller® Encompass® Fleet Management System, which uses the J. J. Keller® electronic logging device and the Encompass® back office portal. HOW DOES IT WORK: Hours-of-service and telematics data is captured via a hardline adapter from the engine’s diagnostic port into the ELD hardware. The hardware continuously records and stores engine data. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth from the hardware to the Encompass® ELD application on drivers’ iPhone® or iPad® devices. Hours-of-service data and alerts are presented to the drivers in real time using compliance rulesets determined by the company. Data from the iPhone® or iPad® device is transmitted via cellular connection to the Encompass® online back office portal for hours-of-service auditing, reporting and recordkeeping. APP FEATURES: MANDATE-COMPLIANT ELD – Solution is compliant with the final FMCSA mandate. Regulatory and technology updates are delivered over-the-air and require no hardware swap outs. HOS COMPLIANCE ALERTS - App continuously checks drivers’ hours against the current DOT hours-of-service rules and company rulesets, and presents alerts to drivers of impending violations. HOS RULE SETS – App supports state and industry rulesets, including US 60/70, US and Texas Oil Field, Canadian Cycle 1 & 2, US Construction, 100 & 150 Air-Mile Exempt, and more. ROADSIDE INSPECTION MODE – Supports ELD requirements for roadside inspection protocol, including mobile display and Telematics Data Transfer method. ELECTRONIC VEHICLE INSPECTIONS (EDVIRs) – Driver-friendly interface supports pre- and post-trip inspection process, customized criteria, and photo capture of defects. MOBILE MESSAGES – Allows for the quick and efficient exchange of information between the back office and drivers. ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY - Supports team driving, hyrail, personal conveyance, exempt logging, border crossing, and more. FLEXIBILITY – App can be used with the J. J. Keller® Compliance Tablet™ or the driver’s own smart device. DOT DRIVER AND VEHICLE COMPLIANCE RECORDKEEPING – Includes Encompass back-office DOT driver and vehicle compliance recordkeeping features for driver qualification, alcohol and drug program management, hiring, and more. DEDICATED DRIVER SUPPORT – Drivers receive 24/7 technical support and Roadside Inspection assistance. A dedicated support team ensures quick resolution on technical issues. DEDICATED COMPANY SUPPORT – Users receive complimentary amenities, including DataQs Challenge Service; DOT Expert Help from our subject-matter experts; regulatory webcasts; an online support site with training videos, FAQs, user guides; and an online training library (Spring 2020).
