Overview
Samsara ELD Integration
Fleet Management (FM) requires the use of Samsara ELD tracking. FM integrates with both the ELD device attached to the Fleet Asset and the Driver’s phone with the Samsara Driver Phone Application.
The bi-directional integration is accomplished in three ways:
The Fleet Management Job invokes API calls on the Samsara API.
Samsara pushes event packets to the TMS via the TMS Listener and Samsara Event Processor.
The Load LWC widget can send text messages to the driver via the Samsara phone application.
Samsara Event Processor
The Samsara Event Processor receives “push” packets from Samsara for the following events (if enabled):
