When paired with a driver's existing Android phone or Rand McNally navigation tablet, the ELD 50 creates a secure compliance solution that meets upcoming federal ELD mandates. The 3ΒΌ-inch device plugs into a truck's diagnostics port below the dash and sends hours data to the complementa - ry Rand McNally DriverConnect app via Bluetooth, where drivers may view both current HOS logs and driver vehicle inspection reports via the Rand McNally DriverConnect web portal. Rand McNally, RandMcNally.com Integrated side-rail system East's integrated extruded aluminum side-rail system accommodates a Dou- ble-L winch with flat-hook straps for car- go securement. Available on both sides of the East Beast or Beast II flatbed trailer, the flat-hook tiedowns are interchange- able and are designed to allow torque to be applied evenly to stabilize the load. Each tiedown is movable so that it can be positioned where needed to secure the cargo. Once the flat hook is engaged, the rail's design holds the hook in place while tension is added to the strap. The side rail maintains all of the standard features of East's Securetight cargo con - trol system, an adjustable chain tiedown and winch strap capture system where movable tiedowns across the top of the side rail provide positive locking every 8 inches. Straps go inside the rail, not over the top, to help protect the strap from chafing against the winch hook and from shearing or cutting should the trailer be involved in a mishap.
