Keep the terminal visit connected to the road trip
A container move can involve a queue, chassis work, terminal activity and a public-road trip before the delivery is complete. Factor ELD offers driving-time records, duty-status logs and annotations that help your team document the driver's day. In a demo, use your own sequence of events rather than a generic point-to-point trip.
The driver still needs to select statuses that match actual activity and your approved procedures. Being inside a terminal does not, by itself, settle how a movement should be recorded. Review your yard-move policy with the responsible compliance lead.
Put tractor changes into the demonstration
For fleets that share tractors, login and vehicle selection deserve as much attention as the dashboard. Ask Factor ELD to walk through a driver handoff, the next road movement and the office's review of any unassigned event. Confirm the exact functions on your proposed device and app version.
Discuss GPS tracking and Dispatch Board if you need broader operating tools. Describe your terminal or customer systems clearly; do not assume that a port appointment feed or container-status integration is included in an ELD plan.
Prepare for a productive drayage demo
- Bring one container pickup and delivery sequence.
- Identify who drives each tractor before and after a handoff.
- List the phones, connectors and truck models in use.
- Ask how the selected setup behaves when connectivity changes and how records become available afterward.
Factor ELD provides setup guidance and 24/7 multilingual support. Review current plans with your truck count and required options so the quote reflects your operation.
Drayage questions
Does waiting at a port automatically count as off-duty time?
No automatic conclusion follows from a stopped truck. The driver's responsibilities and the applicable rules matter. Your fleet's procedure should address waiting, work and movement separately.
Can Factor ELD replace our terminal booking system?
The ELD records driver activity. Discuss any terminal, dispatch or customer-system requirement separately with Factor ELD and confirm supported connections before relying on them.
