Plan the handoff before the next truck movement
The Atlanta Regional Commission’s freight program addresses regional freight clusters and truck-parking needs. For a fleet using regional terminals, that context supports planning where the driver stops and who takes the next assignment.
Consider a sample operation in which a linehaul driver brings freight to a terminal and a different driver takes a local route. Distinguish the arrival, any terminal movement and the outgoing assignment. The correct person must be responsible for each movement rather than inheriting the previous driver’s active account.
Use a three-part terminal worksheet
| Handoff | Information to establish | Acceptance question |
|---|---|---|
| Linehaul arrival | Incoming driver, tractor, device and end of assignment | Can the driver and office identify the completed portion of the trip? |
| Terminal interval | Who moves the vehicle and what work is performed | Does each movement have the correct driver and operational context? |
| Local departure | Outgoing driver, selected vehicle and available records | Can the next driver demonstrate the connection and record-access checks before departure? |
This is a proposed test for fleets that use such a handoff, not a claim that all Atlanta operations follow the same model. Include your actual parking and terminal procedures. An ELD does not reserve truck parking or determine whether a private terminal movement qualifies for a special status.
Confirm the remote setup scope
Share engine, connector, truck and mobile-device details with Factor ELD. Ask the team to confirm the configuration it can support, who will install the equipment, where it can be shipped and how the driver will receive setup guidance. Factor ELD ships equipment and provides remote setup guidance and support in Georgia; confirm your delivery address and the supported vehicle configuration before ordering.
Use the vehicle-connection guide to collect the equipment details. For a terminal-based freight operation, review ELD planning for LTL fleets. The rollout checklist helps assign training and record-review responsibilities.
Atlanta setup questions
How do Atlanta fleets prepare for remote setup?
Send the truck and engine details, connector information and phone or tablet version. Factor ELD can then confirm equipment and shipping arrangements and guide your team through the supported setup remotely.
Should the terminal and local driver share one login?
No. Establish the correct named account and vehicle assignment for the person doing the driving. Ask for a demonstration of the handoff on the proposed app and device version.
