Frequently Asked Questions on Samsara Integration
How does Exspeedite display Samsara Hours of Service (HOS) data?
Exspeedite queries Samsara's REST API every 60 seconds to display real-time driver duty status clocks (Drive Remaining, Shift Remaining, Cycle Remaining, and 30-minute break countdowns) directly inside the dispatch grid. Dispatchers are prevented from assigning loads that violate HOS rules.
Do dispatch check calls update automatically with Samsara GPS?
Yes. Exspeedite ingests Samsara vehicle GPS coordinates and automatically matches them to shipper and receiver geofences. Arrival and departure timestamps are automatically logged as verified check calls with zero dispatcher intervention.
How does Samsara integration simplify quarterly IFTA fuel tax filings?
Exspeedite pulls Samsara jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction odometer readings and GPS breadcrumb logs daily. State and provincial taxable miles are calculated automatically, accounting for toll-road non-taxable exceptions and matching against fuel card receipts.
Can Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) trigger maintenance alerts?
Yes. When a driver logs a failed pre-trip or post-trip DVIR in Samsara, the defect write-up immediately creates a maintenance ticket in the Exspeedite Fleet Maintenance Hub, preventing the tractor or trailer from being dispatched until a certified mechanic signs off.
