About this app

More than an electronic logbook for HOS and ELD compliance, Samsara Driver is the all-in-one hub for fleet operations large and small.

Eliminate paper DVIRs with all-digital inspection reports, stay on track with real-time routing information, and keep in touch with two-way messaging.

Samsara Driver is the perfect companion to the Samsara Vehicle gateway offering vehicle diagnostics, GPS tracking, safety monitoring, dashcams, and an expansive set of trailer sensors.

EASY TO USE
Drivers love our app because we put them first with large buttons, helpful alerts, and an intuitive interface. Most functions are just one or two taps away at any time! The ELD mandate is complicated, but we’re always working to make it simple for drivers to stay compliant with FMCSA regulations!

INSTANT INSPECTION REPORTS
Pre- and post-trip DVIRs have never been easier with detailed defect checklists and camera integration that helps maintenance diagnose problems immediately. Repairs can start as soon as the vehicle returns to the yard to keep you on the road longer!

ROUTING & MESSAGING
Keep everyone in sync with our routing and messaging features providing up-to-the-minute arrival information and ETAs, information for drivers about upcoming stops on a route, and safety-first instant messaging.

NEW IN THIS VERSION:

Streamlined Duty Status Selection: We have redesigned the Duty Status selection screen to help drivers change their duty status more seamlessly.

Simplified HoS Log Edits: We have improved the layout and streamlined the process for editing HoS logs. Now, your drivers will find it easier and quicker to maintain accurate records and stay in compliance.

Improved HoS Dials: Based on your feedback, we added a fourth dial on the HoS screen so drivers can directly see their remaining available drive time.

Faster Vehicle Selection: We want to make it easy for drivers to get into their vehicles and get going. We’re making vehicle selection easier by allowing drivers to see which vehicle hotspot their mobile device is connected to

Enhanced Performance & Design: We’re constantly looking for ways to make our app faster and easier to use. We’ve made a number of performance improvements to reduce transition time between screens, maintain app stability, and improve legibility.

Ratings and reviews

The app is unstable. Every SINGLE morning I have to logout and reboot and go thru selecting the vehicle & trailer & even if I'd done so the night before. If not the log is all messed up with drive time shown as breaks and inaccurate mileage. When you select a vehicle Samsara ignores the "space" character after the vehicle name and you can find it. For the trailer it will search for "Trailer 1 " and won't find it it because it autofills an invisible blank space after the name.

The alerts are obnoxious and unfilterable. For example 30 minute warnings while you are off duty parked. The vehicle update tab does not always update the DOT roadside inspection screen . The safety screen will log you as speeding because the data they use does not match the signed speeds of the highway. Many speed limits have not been updated for years. Especially Minnesota rural highways. *At least it's not peoplenet 🤔

The app auto completes trips before I've even arrived at my first stop. It'll pick up our end destination which is where we start from our yard, and complete a trip with the automatic arrival. It should be implemented where the trip can't be completed before all stops have been arrived to change the skip stop function to not be automatic, it needs to be a manual input. Furthermore the app is jumpy, every time you open a trip and click the back button it wants to jump off present to past/future
