Samsara Driver

Been running Samsara for roughly 6 months now. It’s a decent app. Easy enough to navigate and use Things that should be addressed Flagging is touch and go at best, when I add a flag sometimes it will mark it sometimes it won’t or I disappears all together rather annoying Being signed out 3-4 times a day while driving This is a major annoyance especially when you are close to your 14 hour mark and need to check it only to see you’ve been logged out Things that should be changed Being able to zoom in on your log when flagging I cannot tell you the headache it is trying to figure out when a duty status change starts or ends on this app especially when I cannot zoom in on my log and see the exact time my duty status change is, I know I can see duty status changes and times in another part of the app but switching back forth from that to the log is a nightmare. Please fix this Leeway on truck movement This is the biggest headache of this app. If the truck moves it automatically puts you on duty driving I would like to see a 15 mph buffer on this, especially when I’m at a truck stop and need to either fuel or move when I’m on my 10, I know I can change status to avoid this but a 15mph buffer would be great Over all a decent app, with improvements this could be the go to app for elogs

Keeps showing violation for 14hr/shift clock when I’m on line 1/off duty. If I edit line 1 to line 2, the violation goes away. Keeps logging me out while I’m driving; I would like to be able to see my clocks at anytime without any hassles while I’m driving. Doesn’t matter if I’m using Samsung or iPad; these issues prevail. Please fix. If it weren’t for this glitch, it’s possible that I wouldn’t have gotten caught in a blizzard in Iowa because I was waiting for my fleet manager (it took him a while to get back to me) to help me figure out what was wrong with my logs, and now my load is a day behind schedule. This is pretty serious stuff, really needs to be fixed. And what do you expect us to do? Pull over every time we need to see our clocks so that we can log back in? Being required to type in a password frequently is just not a safe thing for us to be doing. We also need a way to be able to move at a truck stop during our break without going on duty yard move or on duty driving.

This is better than others we have used in the past but a few gripes with the newest update. I like the newest update and the addition of night mode however, and this is small, it's inconvenient to have to clock the moon to shift back Everytime you change your duty status is there a way to make it a setting you can turn on and off that way the entire thing can go to a night mode and you don't have to keep selecting it Everytime. And then in the remarks section there is the preset remarks and then the option to type a different one but with this newest update it still pops up the preset ones but now automatically wants you to type something in. Is this a bug? Why not allow us to select the preset ones and then IF we need to put something else allow us to select that area like before. Again a minor inconvenience but still irritating none the less. Also when in on duty it will all of the sudden say truck stopped and ask my status even if I haven't moved since I switched, but going into yard move fixes this. But on duty shouldn't do that. Otherwise I like the improvements you continue to make but a few tweaks would be great.

The user has to babysit the app far too often, I spent more time figuring out this app and trying to correct easy mistakes than I did taking breaks while on the road. Additionally, not being able to fix mistakes of logged driving time when the vehicle is completely shutdown and at a standstill is extremely aggravating because it shows I am in violation because of an inaccurate system. What this app could do better is allow a feature to send the driver a notification after the vehicle’s engine has been turned over, vehicle parked, or shutdown. A reminder that asks what status the driver is planning to log. Otherwise if you don’t remind yourself to change status in the app every time you make a stop or end your shift, this app will log whatever you left it on for the duration. Even if the vehicle is shut down and not in motion.

This app is so flawed in so many different ways I won’t even begin to list. It’s more or less quite impossible to pass a dot inspection using this app without having your company perform Administrative edits. Even the management gives up on trying to fix needless error like the app mysteriously not logging drive time. The only reason the dot might pass someone using this is that they they are seeing thousands of errors from cell phone based apps that basically don’t work right cause they don’t always ping the cell towers. The app is ruining my life and I’m not understating that fact. I’m constantly worried about the errors in my log. I’m frustrated and if I quit my job, it will be because the company uses this app. and won’t change. Run don’t walk away from this app.
