Account for the day before a permitted move
Heavy haul planning brings together a truck, load, route, travel window and people responsible for the move. The driver's work can begin well before departure. Factor ELD provides driving-time records and duty-status logs so loading, inspections and other recorded activity remain visible alongside road travel.
Bring a scenario in which an escort or travel window changes. Review the driver's day before deciding what happens next. A permit window does not add driving hours, and a stopped vehicle does not automatically mean the driver is resting.
Confirm the setup for the actual tractor
Factor ELD offers device and app setup guidance, a fleet dashboard and 24/7 multilingual support. For specialized trucks, provide the vehicle, engine and connector details before choosing hardware. Include the phone or tablet that will be used in the cab.
You can also discuss GPS tracking and Dispatch Board for wider fleet coordination. Keep those choices separate from permit management, escort scheduling and route authorization unless specific functionality has been demonstrated and confirmed in writing.
Use a complete heavy haul assignment in your demo
- Loading, securement and inspection activity.
- Staging while an escort or travel window is arranged.
- Departure and the next planned stopping point.
- Driver review and office access to the completed log.
This makes the conversation useful for both the driver using the app and the person coordinating the move. Compare the proposed services against the tasks your team actually needs to perform.
Heavy haul questions
Does Factor ELD handle oversize permits?
An ELD records driver activity; it should not be treated as a permit service. Manage route, load and escort permissions through the responsible authorities and systems.
What should we send before discussing hardware?
Share your truck and engine details, connector information and mobile-device model. Tell the team about mounting or installation constraints so the exact setup can be reviewed before purchase.
