Connect your ELD

Live truck locations, odometer and driver hours without typing. 3 min

1. 1

   Open Settings → ELD

   Only the owner can connect an ELD. Pick your provider: Samsara, Motive (KeepTruckin), Geotab, BIT ELD or ProLogs. More are added as carriers ask for them.

2. 2

   Samsara

   In cloud.samsara.com: gear icon (Settings) → API Tokens → Add an API Token. Name it “MileTMS” and give it Read access to Vehicles, Vehicle Statistics, Drivers and ELD Hours of Service. Copy the token.

3. 3

   Motive

   In the Motive Fleet Dashboard: Admin → Developers → Create API Key. Name it “MileTMS” and save. Copy the key.

4. 4

   Geotab

   In MyGeotab: People → Users → Add. Make a user just for MileTMS with View-only clearance that sees all vehicles and drivers. Enter your database name, that user’s login and password. Don’t use your own login.

5. 5

   BIT ELD

   In the BIT web portal: your initial (top right) → Profile Settings → API → + New API Key. Choose Read Only and copy the key. BIT shares truck locations (Fleet Visibility plan) and duty status, not hours left.

6. 6

   Paste and connect

   Paste the token or key into MileTMS and click Connect ELD. MileTMS checks it and runs the first sync right away.

   Never send API keys by email or text. Paste them only into MileTMS. MileTMS only reads from your ELD; it never changes anything there.

7. 7

   Check the match

   MileTMS matches trucks by VIN, then unit #, and drivers by name. Anything it couldn’t match is listed so you can fix the unit # or name.

8. 8

   What updates

   Every 2 minutes: truck location on the map, odometer for maintenance, and each driver’s drive, shift and cycle hours left.
