Description

The J. J. Keller® Encompass® ELD app is the industry’s most simple, flexible and affordable driver electronic log. Formerly known as KellerMobile, this patented ELD mandate-compliant solution is used by commercial motor vehicle drivers to electronically capture hours-of-service duty status information, replacing the driver’s paper log book. The app uses a driver-friendly interface to present hours-of-service data to drivers, helping them optimize their on-duty and driving hours and reduce the risk of violations. The solution works with class 1-8 vehicles and offers many industry and state-specific HOS rulesets, accommodating exempt, non-regulated, and team drivers.

The Encompass® ELD app is compliant with ELD (Part 395 Subpart B and Part 395 Appendix) rules and is listed on the FMCSA ELD registry. The Encompass® ELD app is part of the J. J. Keller® Encompass® Fleet Management System, which uses the J. J. Keller® electronic logging device and the Encompass® back office portal.

HOW DOES IT WORK:
Hours-of-service and telematics data is captured via a hardline adapter from the engine’s diagnostic port into the ELD hardware. The hardware continuously records and stores engine data. Data is transmitted via Bluetooth from the hardware to the Encompass® ELD application on drivers’ iPhone® or iPad® devices. Hours-of-service data and alerts are presented to the drivers in real time using compliance rulesets determined by the company. Data from the iPhone® or iPad® device is transmitted via cellular connection to the Encompass® online back office portal for hours-of-service auditing, reporting and recordkeeping.

Sean Tuell ,

How about making it so you can do an inspection on a truck or trailer that is not in the system?

I would give it 5 stars if you could do an inspection on a truck or trailer that isn’t preloaded into the system. I know it is legal because we do it for another company I work for with another system. I am trying to get them to use this, but, they may pull other companies trailers, so this won’t work for them. At least not now.

Developer Response ,

Hi Sean! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! If the unit is not in the system, you can enter the Unit/Tractor # in the search and create the DVIR for that unit from there. If you have any questions or wanted to discuss this more, please feel free to reach out to me at AppFeedback@JJKeller.com. Thank you!

Horrible device and support

DO NOT USE THIS ELD!!!!! Today alone we have been on the phone 6 times with support. First, we were told they will not help us until the app is updated. Because of issues, they update their app almost weekly. The next 5 times, they were still unable to figure out the issues and had to escalate the ticket. We’ve had to do this previously and it took over two weeks to hear back. We were told they didn’t know what was really going on. In this instance, we were told they would get to the ticket in the order it came in. This should tell you something right there when they have numerous ‘escalated tickets’. Their support team is terrible. You may get one person who knows how to use their system out of 10. I’ve contacted our account rep and again, no help. We have been a customer since ELDs we’re mandated. This last year has been nothing but issue and after issue with each ELD we have. We run over 15 power units so this isn’t just a one off situation. I’ve also suggested that maybe the ELD box is malfunctioning and asked if we could try a new one. They said sure, but that I would have to pay for it.
In the end, I hope you read this review and stay away from them. This ELD is nothing but problems. We will be transitioning to a new one as soon as the devices are shipped to me.

Crashes

The app itself is well designed and easily navigated. It’s fairly simple to use and straightforward. However, after two days of continuous use without any problems the application crashes. The app will load and as you are prompted to sign in, the usual notification will appear before shutting down. Once it starts crashing it will continue to do it every time I attempt to open the app until I am forced delete and reinstall. This causes a problem because any logs not submitted are deleted and lost for good. I only have this issue running the app with iOS on my iPhone 12. I first downloaded the app using Google Play on the Galaxy Note 9 and had no problems whatsoever for a year. It was not until I switched to the iPhone 12 that I started hating the Encompass app.
