TravelCenters of America is ELD Headquarters for Professional Drivers

TravelCenters of America LLC, (TravelCenters), operator of TA® and Petro Stopping Centers® branded travel centers, is a professional driver’s first stop to prepare for the upcoming ELD mandate. TA and Petro Stopping Centers travel stores and TA Truck Service facilities offer a growing selection of ELD solutions from trucking automation leaders, including the:

  • Pegasus Transtech Transflo T7 ELD kit
  • OnCommand® Connection powered by Navistar
  • Rand McNally RM TND765 ELD with GPS Fleet Edition and
  • Rand McNally ELD50 9-Pin.

“We’re excited to offer our professional drivers a wide assortment of ELD solutions to meet their driving needs. As the deadline approaches for the ELD mandate, we’re proud to be their source for information and installation in the transition to electronic logging,” said Tom O’Brien, President and CEO of TravelCenters.

Select ELD options also come with exclusive UltraONE member benefits. For example, the new durable and compact TransFlo unit includes an easy plug and play installation, accurate recording to the second, a highly sensitive GPS and an accelerometer. Customers can choose from basic or engine subscription plans. The kit retails for $149.99, but UltraONE members can purchase the kit for only 10,000 UltraONE loyalty points. Members who do not have enough points to pay for the entire unit can also buy down the kit by redeeming 5,000 points for $75 off the price of the kit.

Professional drivers that purchase the OnCommand Connection solution at TA Truck Service facilities and have it installed by a TA Truck Service technician will be eligible to upgrade their UltraONE membership to the Platinum level. OnCommand Connection offers professional drivers a comprehensive, one-price solution which includes telematics and advanced remote diagnostics to provide comprehensive, real-time vehicle health data and fault code action plans on a user-friendly web portal.

This solution is also integrated with the OnCommand EDL, which automates federal Hours of Service compliance requirements, while also aiding in fuel tax reporting, vehicle inspection reports, vehicle idling reports and vehicle trip mapping history, all displayed through a smart phone app.
