Which PT30 is being compared?
The FMCSA list checked on September 14, 2026 identifies FACTOR ELD, model PT30, software 1.1.0 or higher, ELD identifier FTR321, provider HOST ELD LLC. The same provider has a separate Factor FRS entry. Match the app, hardware and identifier together; do not transfer one entry’s capabilities to another.
FMCSA lists manufacturer-self-certified devices and does not endorse them. U.S. registration does not establish Canadian certification.
What is documented?
The PT30 entry lists telematic transfer through web services and email. Its manual documents vehicle selection, connection, log review, certification and DOT inspection. These are documented workflows, not results of a comparative field test.
Compare the same purchase scope
List hardware, cables, subscriptions, activation, mobile data, installation, support, and exit costs separately. Compare current written offers for the same contract term and fleet size. Check which advertised features are included in each quoted plan.
For a structured evaluation, use the full comparison guide. For the app and documents, use Factor downloads.
