Pros:

Ease of use for the drivers. Good interface for management staff.

It puts the driver in On Duty not driving if they forget to tap off duty. But I think that's the law.

Great Product

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: It was easy to install, my driver's didn't have a hard time getting used to using it. The cost per month is extremely nice. We would recommend to anyone looking for ELD's. The time it takes to get a replacement item is one of the drawbacks since it ships from Canada.

Pros:

Monthly cost, east of installation. The videos were informative and it had all the features we were looking for in an ELD.

Cons:

I can't ping my equipment when I need an update.

Nightly live-streaming with Switchboard

5.0 3 years ago

Comments: Overall we’re happy with the software - it’s easy to use and saves a lot of the hassle that normally comes with setting up several simultaneous livestreams on different platforms. It’s very convenient to just set up one stream feed that goes directly to Switchboard, and then just simply choose the platforms to push the stream to. I also like having the ability to create stream titles and templates.

Pros:

My favorite feature of this software is the ability to livestream to multiple platforms simultaneously. My husband and I livestream music concerts every night on Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.

Cons:

I wish that there was an emergency customer service number to reach out to after-hours. There were a couple times when there were issues with the stream (the issue may or may not have actually been Switchboard-related - it could have been from my own encoder - but it was impossible to tell, and it would have been helpful to be able to reach out to Switchboard at that exact moment to troubleshoot). Customer service is overall good, and I’ve received prompt responses to my email queries during normal business hours; but since I livestream at night, I wish there was a way to get in touch during that time.

It's easy, just 4 "buttons"

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: I always was searching for pens, rulers, and glasses. No longer have to do that, and as also the administrator, I can correct my own mistakes and others.

Pros:

The driver taps driver, then one of 4 "buttons" to change duty status.

Cons:

It puts the driver in On Duty not driving if they forget to tap off duty. But I think that's the law.

Satisfied from the very beginning.

5.0 5 years ago

Comments: We use the software everyday. It does everything we need it to. Almost to the point that we take it for granted just how well it works. And the support is what you would hope every companies support would be. Very very good.

Pros:

When it came to having to purchase electronic log for my trucks, I found Switchboard to be the most competitively priced. Not knowing what to expect,it turned out to be better than I thought it would be. Especially being so reasonably priced.

Cons:

Since which board is the only electronic log we have used. I don't have anything to compare it too. So I don't really have any cons.
