Separate the driver from a delivery helper
Massport's Conley Terminal reporting includes cargo volumes and truck gate activity for the Port of Boston. Massport.
Use a Boston-area delivery involving a driver and a helper who assists with cargo. Identify who actually drives and which duties each person performs at the receiving point. If the helper later takes the wheel, treat that as a real driver change that needs a supported procedure.
Your Boston evaluation worksheet
| Stage or check | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Road segment | Actual driver identified |
| Receiving point | Each person's duties distinguished |
| Helper begins driving | Named access and supported handoff required |
| Return | Earlier work reviewed for the actual driver |
A passenger or helper is not automatically a co-driver, and the ELD does not certify delivery-crew performance.
Prepare your remote ELD setup
Factor ELD ships equipment to fleets in Boston and provides setup guidance and support remotely. Send the road vehicle and engine details, diagnostic connector information and phone or tablet version so the team can confirm the supported configuration and delivery arrangements.
For the proposed product version, ask to see assigned-vehicle selection and log review, as documented in the Factor PT30 manual. Use your worksheet as an acceptance exercise and resolve any unverified configuration or workflow before rollout.
Prepare for the discussion with Delivery, ELD Implementation Checklist for Fleets, ELD Cables: OBD-II, 6-Pin and 9-Pin Connectors.
Boston fleet questions
Should a non-driving helper be treated as the active driver?
No. Identify who actually operates the vehicle. Verify the supported account procedure if another person genuinely takes over driving.
How does remote setup work for a fleet in Boston?
Share your vehicle and mobile-device details with Factor ELD. The team can confirm compatible equipment, shipping arrangements and the supported setup steps, then guide your driver or installer remotely.
