It features visual HOS timers with logbook charts and gauges, allowing easy recording and editing of On Duty, Driving, Off Duty, and Sleeper-Berth statuses compliant with various US states and Canadian regulations. Beyond logging hours, DriverConnect provides real-time engine metrics such as fuel economy, coolant temperature, and boost pressure via an Electronic Logging Device connected through Bluetooth. Drivers can upload Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) with images, track fuel receipts for IFTA reporting, and access location data for route tracking. The app also supports messaging between drivers and fleet personnel, facilitating efficient communication and workflow management. Data syncs automatically with the Rand McNally DriverConnect portal offering up to six months of report storage and fleet management capabilities. Available on smartphones, tablets, and Rand McNally devices, DriverConnect streamlines compliance and fleet operations. ## Rankings - #224,908 — Overall ## Permissions and access ### Permissions - `android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION` - `android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_CONNECT` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_PRIVILEGED` - `android.permission.BLUETOOTH_SCAN` - `android.permission.CAMERA` - `android.permission.CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE` - `android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE` - `android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE` - `android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS` - `android.permission.INTERNET` - `android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `android.permission.READ_MEDIA_IMAGES` - `android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS` - `android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED` - `android.permission.RECORD_AUDIO` - `android.permission.REORDER_TASKS` - `android.permission.STORAGE` - `android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW` - `android.permission.USE_EXACT_ALARM` - `android.permission.WAKE_LOCK` - `android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE` - `com.android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM` - `com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE` - `com.google.android.finsky.permission.BIND_GET_INSTALL_REFERRER_SERVICE` ## Review summary Multiple users report that while the DriverConnect app can perform basic electronic logging functions, it suffers from frequent connectivity problems, including Bluetooth and internet issues. Bugs cause inaccurate status logging, which risks violations. Many complain about poor customer support and app instability, especially following updates. Battery drain and confusing interface add to user frustration. Some recent updates improved stability for a few users, but overall reliability and support remain problematic, leading to dissatisfaction and users considering switching to other ELD providers. ### Pros - App does the basic job of logging driver hours and activities. - Some users found the app stable and user-friendly after recent updates. - Ability to submit paper logs as a backup when app fails. - Works with Rand McNally devices and can be integrated with other GPS units. ### Cons - Frequent connectivity issues with Bluetooth and internet leading to inability to log or certify logs. - App glitches causing incorrect duty status (e.g., putting driver on drive while asleep or on personal conveyance). - Poor customer support with slow or no response to issues. - App consumes excessive battery power causing device to drain quickly. - App is unstable with frequent bugs after updates and confusing UI causing frustration and loss of trust. ## Similar extensions and apps - [ELD Driver App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.mcusa.eld) — 59 users - [Expert ELD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.experteld.expert_eld) — 2 users - [Driver Connect](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.hutchsystems.connect.driver) — 786 users - [Drivo ELD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.drivo.eld) — 17 users - [Motive Driver](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.keeptruckin.android) — 2,411,993 users, 4.49 / 5 - [ELD CONNECT](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.eldconnect.mobile) — 47 users - [ELD Driver App](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.sahara.driver.eld) — 303 users - [Gig ELD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/gg.HoursOfService) — 562 users, 4.33 / 5 - [Rand ELD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/rd.HoursOfService) — 3,024 users, 2.00 / 5 - [Eldtrex Driver](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.connect.eldtrex) — 961 users - [Rand VL](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.randmcnally.vehiclelink) — 1,434 users, 4.50 / 5 - [Time Keeper ELD](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.timekeepereld.eld) — 1 users --- Source: [Chrome-Stats](https://chrome-stats.com/d/com.randmcnally.driverconnect)
