Tracking & ETA

Beginner

Connect your ELD

Link Samsara, Motive, AT ELD, or another supported ELD to pull in your trucks and drivers and turn on live tracking.

3 min read

Connecting your ELD is what turns on live tracking in Numeo One. Once it's linked, Numeo pulls in your trucks and drivers automatically and starts showing real-time truck locations and Hours of Service — no manual entry, no separate app to check.

What you need

Your ELD provider account and its login (or API credentials). Numeo works with Samsara, Motive, AT ELD, and more than a dozen other supported ELDs — including Swift ELD, Level ELD, and TT ELD. If you're not sure which one you're on, it's whatever device and portal your drivers already use for HOS.

Connect your ELD

  1. From the setup checklist, open the "Connect ELD" card — or go to Settings and find the ELD connection.
  2. Pick your ELD provider from the list.
  3. Enter your ELD account credentials to link it.
  4. Numeo imports your trucks and drivers from the ELD.

That's the connection done. From here, live truck locations and HOS data start flowing in.

Assign drivers to trucks

After the import, Numeo can auto-assign drivers to trucks using the vehicle data from your ELD, so you don't have to pair them one by one. Review the matches and fix any that need a hand.

You can always adjust assignments later on the scheduler — see Using the scheduler and dispatch board.

What connecting your ELD turns on

  • Live fleet map — track your trucks in real time at your Fleet overview. Locations update every 30 seconds through your connected ELD.
  • Live tracking and ETA on every load, with geofence arrival and departure detection. See Live tracking, ETA, and geofences.
  • Hours of Service visibility pulled straight from the device.

Good to know

  • If your ELD stops reporting a truck's location, Numeo can send an ELD Offline Alert to the driver so it gets fixed fast.
  • No ELD on a truck yet? You can still run loads and update status by hand — connecting the ELD just automates the location and status side.
