What Syncs

Once connected, Nexus ELD brings in:

• Truck location
• Odometer
• Speed
• Driver Hours of Service

Important Notes

• Trucks are matched by VIN: the VIN in Datatruck must match exactly the one in Nexus. A mismatch means that truck won't receive location updates
• Drivers are matched by full name: the driver's name in Datatruck must match the name in Nexus (first/last order doesn't matter)
• If trucks aren't syncing after a successful connection, see: How To Sync/Update Telematics
