Simple ELD compliance and practical trucking tools for one-truck businesses.

BIT ELD starts at $40/month with no contract.

Get Started

One Truck. One Practical Setup.

Running one truck still means managing Hours of Service, inspections, fuel receipts, IFTA records, maintenance, and paperwork.

Blue Ink Tech keeps those everyday tasks in one trucking-focused system. Start with BIT ELD for compliance, then add a Dashcam ELD or Air Scale when your operation calls for it.

What BIT ELD Helps You Manage

BIT ELD connects your truck with the Blue Ink Tech app so you can handle:

  • Hours of Service and electronic logs
  • DVIRs
  • IFTA mileage
  • Fuel receipt records
  • Roadside inspection information
  • Engine fault codes
  • Route and location history

Your logs, inspection records, and IFTA data stay together instead of being split across paper, receipts, and multiple apps.

Will BIT ELD Work With Your Truck?

BIT supports common commercial truck diagnostic connections.

9-Pin Trucks

Common on many newer heavy-duty trucks.

6-Pin Trucks

Available for applicable older heavy-duty vehicles.

OBD-II Trucks

Supported on compatible medium-duty and lighter commercial vehicles.

Not sure which connection your truck uses? Blue Ink Tech support can help you identify the correct setup before you order.

Check Truck Compatibility

Use Your Phone or Tablet

BIT ELD works with the Blue Ink Tech app on compatible Apple and Android devices.

The ELD connects through Bluetooth, while your phone or tablet gives you access to logs, inspections, receipts, and other driver tools.

There is no need to add a complicated in-cab computer just to stay compliant.

Get Set Up Without Losing a Day

BIT ELD is designed for straightforward installation.

Plug the device into the correct diagnostic port, download the Blue Ink Tech app, add your truck, connect the ELD, and start logging.

For most owner-operators, there is no need to schedule a mechanic just to install the system.

Make IFTA Recordkeeping Easier

IFTA gets harder when you wait until the end of the quarter to rebuild every trip.

BIT tracks mileage by jurisdiction and lets you keep fuel purchase records with your account. That gives you better information to work from when quarterly filing time arrives.

BIT organizes mileage and fuel data but does not calculate individual state tax rates.

Choose the Right BIT Setup

BIT ELD

Best if you mainly need HOS, DVIRs, IFTA mileage, receipts, and everyday compliance.

For many owner-operators, this is the right place to start.

BIT Dashcam ELD

Best if you also want road video, GPS, incident footage, and ELD functionality in one device.

It can be a better fit if accident evidence, claims protection, and vehicle visibility matter to your operation.

BIT ELD + Air Scale

Best for grain, bulk, agricultural, and other weight-sensitive hauling.

BIT Air Scale gives you axle and gross weight information in the BIT app so you can load with more confidence before reaching a certified scale.

U.S.-Based Support

When you run one truck, an ELD problem is your problem.

Blue Ink Tech support is handled in-house by the team in West Virginia, so you can get help with setup, connectivity, and product questions from people who work with the system every day.

Get the Right Tools for Your Truck

You do not need enterprise fleet software to run one truck well.

BIT ELD gives you a practical way to manage logs, inspections, IFTA mileage, receipts, and truck data. Add video or onboard weight tools only when they make sense for your operation.
