Device leverages drivers' technology investment, provides HOS functionality and more
DALLAS, Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, at the Great American Trucking Show, Rand McNally announced that its HD 100 device, selected as a "Top 20 Products of 2013" by Heavy Duty Trucking (HDT) magazine, is now shipping with software that adds compliant E-Logs to tablets, smart phones, and Rand McNally's IntelliRoute® TND(TM) GPS devices(+).

The HD 100, a small black box about the size of a deck of cards, plugs into a truck's on-board diagnostic port and records the truck's GPS position along with critical vehicle-specific information and driving behavior.
Called a "game changer" by industry observers*, the device provides electronic Hours of Service (HOS) recording, vehicle inspection reporting, text- and dispatch-integrated messaging, plus driver performance monitoring capabilities. Features are dependent upon the service plan selected.**
"The HD 100 is a highly effective, affordable solution for providing compliant electronic Hours of Service logs well in advance of the federal E-Log mandate," said Stephen Fletcher, CEO of Rand McNally. "With the new all-platform capabilities of the HD 100, drivers and fleets can leverage the technology they already have - be it a TND(TM) device or tablet or smart phone."
The HD 100 is available at Travel Centers of America (TA) and other fine retailers and online stores at a price of $299, including six months of service**. The HD 100 all-platform is on display at the Great American Trucking Show this week in booth #16112.
