Your Broker Wants an ELD and You Never Needed One
Sprinter vans, cargo vans and light box trucks were always outside the ELD mandate. Now carrier-vetting platforms are asking for a connected ELD before you can book freight. ELD HUB is integrated with Highway and Trucker Tools, supports PT-30 and IOSiX hardware on every one of these vehicle classes, and costs $15 per vehicle per month with no contract.
How do I get an ELD if a broker or vetting platform requires one?
Register an FMCSA-registered ELD account, install a compatible device in the vehicle's diagnostic port, and connect it to the platform. ELD HUB is integrated with Highway and Trucker Tools, so the connection is a standard step rather than a workaround. Vehicles under 10,001 lbs are exempt from the federal mandate but can run an ELD voluntarily to meet the broker requirement. ELD HUB is $15 per vehicle per month, month to month with no contract, a 14-day free trial, and a one-time $150 PT-30 with free shipping.

Exempt From the Mandate, Still Asked for an ELD
Being exempt does not help you here
A carrier-vetting platform is a private company. It can require a connected ELD before you book a load no matter what the FMCSA says about your weight class. There is no exemption from a broker's access rules.
ELD HUB is integrated with Highway and Trucker Tools
You do not need a workaround. ELD HUB is fully integrated with both platforms, so your duty status and vehicle location can be connected and verified — on sprinter vans, cargo vans, box trucks and any vehicle under 10,000 lbs.
PT-30 and IOSiX hardware, all vehicle classes
We support every PT-30 and IOSiX device on light-duty vehicles as well as tractors. Already own one from a previous provider? We re-register it free.
What it costs to satisfy it
$15 per vehicle per month, month to month with no contract, a 14-day free trial, and a one-time $150 PT-30 with cable and free shipping — the lowest hardware price on the market.

FAQ
Why is a vetting platform asking me for an ELD when my van is exempt?+
Vetting platforms use ELD or telematics data to confirm that the truck exists, that it is where the carrier says it is, and that it matches the MC on the load. That check is a condition of booking freight through the broker, not a federal requirement. An FMCSA-exempt carrier can meet it by running a real ELD account voluntarily.
Is ELD HUB integrated with Highway and Trucker Tools?+
Yes. ELD HUB is fully integrated with both Highway and Trucker Tools. Once your PT-30 or IOSiX device is installed and reporting, your duty status and vehicle location can be connected so the broker can verify the load. This works on sprinter vans, cargo vans, box trucks and vehicles under 10,000 lbs, not just tractors.
What is the cheapest ELD for a sprinter van or box truck?+
ELD Hub is $15 per vehicle per month with no contract and a 14-day free trial, plus a one-time $150 PT-30 device with cable and free ground shipping in the mainland USA. Fleet-focused providers typically charge $30–$45 per month and often require an annual contract.
How fast can I be connected?+
Registration takes about two minutes. If you already own a PT-30 or IOSiX device, you can be recording the same day. If you need hardware, ground shipping is 5–7 business days and setup after that is about 10 minutes.
Do I need a separate account for each van?+
One ELD Hub account covers your whole operation; each vehicle needs its own device and is billed at $15 per month. There is no minimum fleet size and no per-load fee.
