ELD

TT ELD and EVO ELD integration

Connect TT ELD or EVO ELD and your trucks appear on freightline’s live map with the driver on each one, next to the load it is running. Both use the same connection, so the steps are the same.

What you get

  • Every truck on the Live map with its position, speed, heading and last location, next to the load it is running.
  • The driver logged in on the truck, and the co-driver on team trucks where the ELD reports one.
  • The odometer where the ELD reports it, which keeps truck maintenance due dates current.

How to connect TT ELD or EVO ELD

  1. In the ELD portal go to Settings → API Keys → Generate. Copy the key, the provider token if one is shown, and the API host from the same page.
  2. In freightline open Settings → ELD, choose TT ELD · EVO ELD and paste the key, the provider token and the API host. Enter your USDOT number.
  3. Press Connect & test. freightline calls the ELD once to check the key, then pulls the fleet. The card shows the provider, the status and the last sync.
  4. Give each truck under Trucks & trailers its VIN and unit number. Units are matched by VIN first, then by unit number.
  5. Open Live map. Readings refresh when you open it; Sync now under Settings → ELD forces a refresh.

What it doesn’t do

  • Hours of service are not shown on TT ELD and EVO ELD connections: positions and drivers only.
  • The connection is read-only. freightline never edits logs, changes settings or sends anything to your ELD.
  • IFTA miles by state do not come from the ELD’s GPS today. They are counted from Google routes of your delivered loads, loaded plus deadhead (how the IFTA report works).
  • Only the company owner can connect or change the ELD. The key is encrypted at rest.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to connect TT ELD or EVO ELD?

The API key, the provider token if the portal shows one, and the API host, all from Settings → API Keys in the ELD portal, plus your USDOT number.

Are hours of service shown for TT ELD and EVO ELD?

No. These connections show positions and the driver on each truck, without hours of service.

No. The connection is read-only.

A truck shows on the map but isn't linked to my truck. Why?

Units are matched by VIN first, then by unit number. Check that the truck's VIN or unit number in freightline matches the ELD exactly, then press Sync now under Settings → ELD.
