Why fleets switch from BigRoad to ELD Hub
No tier math
One rate covers HOS, DVIRs, IFTA, and GPS. You never have to move up a plan to get the feature your inspector asks about.
Hardware you may already own
We re-register compatible PT-30 or IOSiX units free. If yours cannot transfer, either new device costs $150 with free shipping; PT-30 includes a cable, IOSiX is device only.
Built for small fleets
Fuel discounts, factoring, freight booking, and CDL hiring come with the account — the things a 1–20 truck operation actually needs alongside compliance.

Frequently asked questions
Is ELD Hub FMCSA-registered like BigRoad?
Yes. Both are on the official FMCSA ELD registration list and both pass DOT roadside inspection nationwide. What differs is price, bundled tools, and support.
Can I keep my hardware when leaving BigRoad?
It depends on the device. PT-30 and IOSiX units are provider-configurable and ELD Hub re-registers them at no cost. BigRoad's own hardware may not be transferable — call 302-404-1177 with the model number and we'll confirm before you buy anything.
How does BigRoad pricing compare?
BigRoad sells tiered plans, so the cost depends on which features you need. ELD Hub is a single $15/truck/month rate that already includes IFTA and DVIRs — compare it against your invoice total rather than the entry-tier price.
Does ELD Hub have a driver app?
Yes, iOS and Android. The driver plugs in the device, pairs over Bluetooth, and logs in — no wiring and no mechanic.
How long does the switch take?
About an hour per truck reusing existing hardware, or two days if a PT-30 ships. Your dashboard, HOS, and IFTA go live the day pairing finishes.
What should I do before cancelling BigRoad?
Export the last six months of RODS, then update the in-cab packet with the ELD Hub user manual, malfunction procedure, and data-transfer instructions so your next inspection goes cleanly.
