Samsara Driver

I’ve used this app for several months, and the one thing I’ve noticed that needs improvement is the Fuel Efficiency Score. You can do everything right - not idling, using cruise control nearly all the time, not speeding, and it will still score you in the 50s. You should be able to reset it every 7 days to help it be accurate.

I certainly had a break of 31 minutes but after I certified it I have a violation. It shows 26 minutes. How can I fix it?

Says you have hours when you don't, and that you don't when you do. Either the 30 minute warning that you're about to bust your 8 hour clock is wrong, or it doesn't come up at all. When you're doing 20+ stops a day you realistically need an eld to track your cumulative drive time. Also, there's not a 'No deficiencies found' button on the pre/post trip. You have to manually click each line item and they annoyingly self collapse after each section is done.

This app kinda works, but it does not accurately allow timekeeping between off duty, sleeper or pc/off duty statuses. You can’t change pc status to off duty like DOT allows, it tracks weirdly and puts you into a drive or on duty status just because you start the truck. Needs the proper fix before fmcsa removes it from approved devices.

Overall, this is easily the best ELD app that used, but it needs one QoL change for us drivers that I believe would be super helpful. Instead of the usual 1 warning that we get 30 mins before our hours are up, there needs to be a better implementation where the last 30 mins give warnings every 5 mins intervals. Sometimes as a driver you are exhausted and aren’t as attentive due to being up for hours and hours and just as you’re about to make your final stretch, you forget to put on personal conveyance to go to a safe haven or pull over sooner and instead, get a violation. Something as big as a violation just needs a better warning system so that way we do what we gotta do as drivers to avoid it. Please take this into consideration. Thank you!

Besides all the bugs my main gripe is that it doesn’t show recouped Hrs . It only counts down my 70 it doesn’t show recycled hrs which it should

Perfect thx

It’s a simple app to operate no doubt, but i have to sign out and do a hard reset at least twice a week in order for everything to stay updated. App also used to be quick and responsive but that was 7 or 8 updates ago now it’s just as laggy as the old ones we had before switching.

Would be a good app if I could log in without having to select a vehicle and go on duty. Sometimes you just want to see the info. How many hours did I drive last week. What time did I stop for fuel on friday? Be nice if what I did on one device updated all devices. It is one driver acct. I’d be getting notices on my phone for violating hrs but my tablet would be fine. Makes no sense.
