Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are required for most commercial trucking companies operating in the United States. While compliance is mandatory, the cost of ELD services has become a growing concern for small trucking fleets and owner-operators.
Many providers charge flat monthly subscriptions per truck, regardless of whether the vehicle is actually operating.
For small fleets, seasonal businesses, and owner-operators who experience downtime between loads, this pricing model often means paying for ELD services even when trucks are parked.
ELD HUB introduces a different approach.
Instead of a fixed monthly fee, ELD HUB offers a usage-based ELD pricing model that allows fleets to pay only when trucks are actually working.
The platform supports existing FMCSA-certified ELD hardware such as PT-30 and IOSix, making it an affordable and flexible alternative to traditional ELD providers.
ELD HUB is a trucking operations platform designed to help small and mid-size fleets manage compliance and reduce operational costs.
The platform includes:
One of the most important advantages of ELD HUB is its flexible ELD pricing model, designed specifically for fleets that want to reduce unnecessary monthly expenses.
Most ELD providers charge flat monthly subscriptions per truck, typically ranging between:
This pricing structure creates several challenges for trucking companies.
If a truck is parked for several weeks due to maintenance, market conditions, or driver availability, fleets still pay the full monthly ELD fee.
Many small trucking companies experience seasonal demand fluctuations. During slower months, trucks may run less frequently, yet the ELD cost remains the same.
Some providers require fleets to purchase proprietary hardware, forcing companies to replace existing equipment even when their current devices remain fully functional.
ELD HUB changes the traditional pricing model.
Instead of charging a flat subscription fee, the platform uses a pay-as-you-drive approach.
The pricing structure is simple:
$0.50 per day when the truck is working
Maximum $15 per driver per month
This means fleets never pay more than $15 per driver, but if a truck runs less frequently, the total monthly cost may be significantly lower.
If a driver works:
For fleets managing multiple trucks, this pricing model can lead to significant annual savings.
A major advantage of ELD HUB is its compatibility with existing FMCSA-certified ELD hardware.
The platform currently supports:
The PT-30 is a widely used ELD device that connects to a truck’s engine control module and records required compliance data.
Key features include:
ELD HUB works with PT-30 devices without requiring hardware replacement.
IOSix is another certified ELD system used by many fleets across North America.
IOSix devices support:
ELD HUB allows fleets using IOSix hardware to continue operating with their existing devices, avoiding unnecessary equipment purchases.
Many trucking companies are beginning to reconsider traditional ELD pricing models.
ELD HUB offers several advantages that make it an attractive alternative.
With a $0.50 per day usage model, fleets can reduce their compliance expenses significantly compared to flat monthly subscriptions.
Companies already using PT-30 or IOSix devices can continue using their current hardware.
ELD HUB was built specifically to support:
These businesses often need more flexible pricing structures than large enterprise fleets.
In addition to ELD compliance, ELD HUB also offers:
This allows fleets to manage multiple aspects of their operations within one ecosystem.

As the trucking industry evolves, many fleets are beginning to question whether flat subscription pricing models still make sense.
For businesses managing tight margins, every operating cost matters.
Usage-based pricing models like the one offered by ELD HUB may represent a more practical solution for fleets that want to:
By supporting widely used devices such as PT-30 and IOSix, ELD HUB provides a flexible and cost-effective alternative to traditional ELD providers.
