Getting Started with PrePass ELD

Enroll in the PrePass ELD Program

For a Carrier – Enroll in the ELD Service

To add the PrePass ELD service to your existing PrePass account or to create a new PrePass account, please contact 1-800-PrePass (1-800-773-7277). A PrePass team member will establish a Fleet Manager account and provide instructions for ordering your On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) device(s) and adding drivers to your account.

For a Driver – Get Driver Login Information

The Fleet Manager, created at the time of enrollment, is responsible for providing each driver his or her PrePass ELD login information. Please contact your Fleet Manager for driver login information.

For Owner-Operators

Owner-Operators will need both a Fleet Manager account and a driver account. The Fleet Manager account will be used to administer drivers on the Admin portal. The driver account is used to log in and use the mobile app.

Install the Adapter

Instructions to install the adapter will be included with the compliant OBD hardware. Please follow the instructions provided with the device to ensure proper setup. Software pairing instructions as well as troubleshooting information is provided in the “Launch and Sign into the Application” section later in this guide.

Mount Your Mobile Device

Securely mount your device in an accessible location to ensure safety and application performance. Confirm that the device is plugged into a power source.

Download the Application

Install the Application on any compatible Android or Apple mobile tablet or smartphone1. You must have a data plan linked to the device to send and receive data. Please check the correct App Store page to ensure that your device and operating system version are compatible with the ELD app.
