Separate the border process from the road assignment
SANDAG's San Diego freight portal identifies the Otay Mesa cargo crossing alongside maritime terminals, rail and airport cargo facilities. SANDAG freight data portal.
Use a U.S.-side San Diego-area movement with a terminal or carrier handoff. Identify the driver, the physical truck and who holds earlier records at each stage. Customs release and receiving instructions belong alongside that review, but they do not establish driver identity or replace the logging process.
Your San Diego evaluation worksheet
| Stage or check | What to establish |
|---|---|
| U.S. pickup | Carrier and named driver established |
| Terminal interval | Who performs work and vehicle movements identified |
| Truck change | Replacement engine connection checked |
| Inland leg | Earlier records available before departure |
A U.S. ELD setup does not by itself establish Mexican regulatory suitability or provide customs services.
Prepare your remote ELD setup
Factor ELD ships equipment to fleets in San Diego 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 Manufacturing Shuttle Fleets, ELD Implementation Checklist for Fleets, ELD Cables: OBD-II, 6-Pin and 9-Pin Connectors.
San Diego fleet questions
Does cleared cargo mean all driver checks are complete?
No. Shipment clearance and driver readiness are separate. Review the actual driver, truck and required records before movement.
How does remote setup work for a fleet in San Diego?
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.
