Include the work before the wheels turn
Loading checks, securement and tarping can occupy a meaningful part of a flatbed driver's day. Factor ELD provides driving-time records, duty-status logs and annotation tools. Your demonstration should show how those road and non-driving activities appear together for the driver and the office.
Use a load that requires preparation at the shipper and work at delivery. Discuss how the driver reviews the log after the assignment. Keep load-securement records and operating procedures in their appropriate place; an electronic log does not verify that a load has been secured correctly.
Equip the cab for everyday use
Factor ELD offers setup guidance, app options for iOS and Android, and 24/7 multilingual support. Bring your truck and mobile-device details so compatibility can be reviewed before purchase. A driver should know how to select the vehicle, review recorded activity and reach support when a product question interrupts the day.
If your business also needs dispatch or tracking, discuss those Factor ELD options with your fleet size and current systems. Confirm the selected services in your quote rather than assuming every platform tool is included.
Focus the demo on a flatbed assignment
- Preparation, loading and securement before departure.
- Road travel followed by an inspection or customer delay.
- Delivery work and the next load decision.
- Driver log review and office access to the day's record.
Flatbed fleet questions
Should loading and tarping be included in the ELD discussion?
Yes. Cover how drivers record their actual work as well as automatic driving events. Your fleet's approved procedures determine the appropriate duty statuses.
What if we also haul oversize loads?
Include those planning needs in your conversation. Permits, escort arrangements and travel windows require their own review. Factor ELD can demonstrate logging alongside that process; the ELD does not authorize a route or load.
