Why Does My Driver’s ELD Status Say “Tracking via App” Even Though ELD Is Connected?

Modified on Tue, 3 Jun at 2:23 AM

What does “Tracking via App” mean?

This status indicates that the system is currently pulling location data from the Driver App instead of the connected ELD device.


How do I fix this and get ELD tracking to reflect correctly?

  1. Verify driver and truck assignments

    • Ensure the driver is assigned to the correct truck within PortPro.

    • Check that the truck is linked to the correct ELD provider or integration.

  2. Wait for ELD data to sync

    • If the system doesn’t receive ELD data within 10 minutes, it will default to tracking via the Driver App.

    • Once the ELD data is received, the status will update automatically.


Still seeing “Tracking via App”?

If:

  • The driver is correctly assigned to the truck, and

  • The ELD is actively connected and syncing data,

But the status still shows “Tracking via App,” then:
