A driver’s Electronic Work Diary tells you when they worked and rested. Your telematics data tells you when and where the vehicle moved.

‍

Most of the time, those records should tell the same story.

‍

And when they don’t, having the two automatically cross-checked gives your compliance team a much clearer place to start.

‍

That’s one of the practical benefits of connecting V-DAQ with Hubfleet.

‍

V-DAQ provides trip and location data from the vehicle, while Hubfleet brings that information into its driver safety, fatigue and compliance workflows. Together, the two systems can automatically cross-check EWD records against vehicle activity, saving teams from doing that work manually and bringing the records that need attention to the surface.

Cross-check EWD records against actual vehicle activity

‍

Hubfleet provides an NHVR-approved Electronic Work Diary (EWD) that allows drivers to record their work and rest hours digitally.

‍

When Hubfleet is connected with V-DAQ, those records can be automatically cross-checked against GPS data from the vehicle.

‍

At the end of a shift, Hubfleet can compare EWD entries with V-DAQ vehicle activity. If a vehicle moved during a period recorded as rest, for example, that discrepancy can be flagged for review.

‍

Instead of someone working through records to find the ones that don’t line up, the integration does the cross-checking and brings the exceptions to their attention.

‍

For compliance teams, that can mean less time spent on routine checks and more time focused on the records that actually need a closer look.

‍

‍

Better context when something doesn't line up

‍

A discrepancy tells you something doesn’t line up. It doesn’t necessarily tell you why.

‍

That still requires context.

‍

V-DAQ trip and location data provides an independent record of vehicle activity that can be reviewed alongside the driver’s EWD information.

‍

Was the vehicle moving? Where was it? When did the movement occur? Does that activity align with the work and rest information recorded?

‍

For operators managing multiple drivers and vehicles, automating that initial cross-check means teams don’t have to work through every record manually. They can spend their time on the exceptions that need attention.

‍

V-DAQ customers are already using the Hubfleet integration to validate EWD entries against actual vehicle locations and distances travelled, saving their administration teams time that would otherwise be spent manually comparing records.

‍

Giving the data you already collect another job

‍

The trip and location data used by the Hubfleet integration isn’t collected specifically for the EWD. It’s part of the fleet data V-DAQ is already capturing from the vehicle.

‍

Connecting Hubfleet gives that data another job.

‍

The same information can support fleet visibility in V-DAQ while providing additional context within a separate safety and compliance workflow.

‍

That’s where connected fleet data becomes particularly useful. Rather than information being limited to the platform where it was collected, it can support different parts of the operation.

‍

Already using Hubfleet? You can keep using it.

‍

If Hubfleet is already part of your safety and compliance processes, moving your telematics to V-DAQ doesn’t mean replacing it.

‍

V-DAQ and Hubfleet can be connected, allowing your team to keep the system they know while using V-DAQ trip and location data within those existing workflows.

‍

The same applies in the other direction. Existing V-DAQ customers looking for technology to support driver safety, fatigue and compliance can connect Hubfleet without changing the way they use V-DAQ across the rest of their fleet.

‍

What if you need your V-DAQ data somewhere else?

‍

Hubfleet is one example of where V-DAQ fleet data can be used, but it isn’t the only option.

‍

The V-DAQ API provides another way to make more of your fleet data available to other business systems and technology partners.

‍

The API provides access to vehicle, trip and event information, along with live and historical location and mass data.

‍

That gives operators the flexibility to start with the technology they need today and connect more of their fleet data as their operation and technology stack evolve.

‍

Your fleet. Your tech stack.
