A short excerpt from a YouTube video (by Hunter Nelson) where a speaker describes how insurance agents routinely ask truckers which ELD provider they use because insurers are increasingly linking ELD connectivity to premium discounts. The speaker notes insurers may require ELDs or offer large discounts (citing up to a 30% discount for connecting an ELD), and mentions the vendor Omnitruck as commonly seen but with reports of people moving away from them.

Again think they're a great company. They're very popular for a reason. But this is what I have heard from truckers. I have to ask truckers their ELD provider all the time as an insurance agent and so do all my agents because insurance is really starting to connect ELDs like crazy because one, some of them require it. Two, some are offering a freaking 30% discount if you connect your ELD. So if somebody's open for that, and again, the insurance companies aren't, aren't gonna jack up your rates throughout renewal or throughout the policy period or anything on those lines by any means. But I always ask it because they're fine with it, which a lot of them are, then great. I want to save them as much money as possible. It's a win win. So yeah, I've seen omnitruck quite a bit. I've heard a lot of people that I've talked to moving away from them.
