PowerDrive®
Thanks to technology, drivers have never been more connected or comfortable on the road. But all the devices and appliances that make life on the road easier depend on reliable power. The lineup of power inverters from PowerDrive, a member of the RoadPro Family of Brands, delivers that power reliably and affordably. The three most powerful inverters – the PD1500, PD2000 and PD3000 – can power TVs, mini-fridges, laptops and a variety of in-cab appliances. Each offers four AC outlets, two USB outlets and a digital LED wattage indicator and can be remotely controlled through a Bluetooth-enabled phone app. Click here to learn more.

Stoneridge EZ-ELD 
An estimated 3 million drivers face a December 2017 deadline for complying with the federal Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate. In a crowded and confusing marketplace of products, the Stoneridge EZ-ELD offers an easy and affordable solution. It’s the only ELD with interchangeable connectors so it can easily be transferred from truck to truck without loss of service or data. Installation is plug and play and features unique “scan and drive” truck pairing. It matches with iOS and Android apps. The device costs only $149 with a $15 monthly subscription.

Garmin eLog™ Compliant ELD
Garmin’s solution to the ELD mandate comes with no monthly subscription fees or contracts, just a one-time purchase. Simply install and drive. The stand-alone device fits nearly every truck and stores ELD records, which can be inspected via USB flash drive or through wireless transfer to a compliant smartphone with the free Garmin eLog app. And it’s compatible with many Garmin dezl GPS navigators so you can easily change duty status and view Hours of Service (HOS) on the navigator’s display.

BlueParrott® B450-XT headset
BlueParrott’s B450-XT gives commercial drivers more of everything they want from a headset: clarity, comfort and convenience. It has an advanced noise-canceling microphone and HD Voice. It comes with Class 1 Bluetooth’s 300-foot range and a 24-hour battery life. Large earcups and a customizable Parrott Button allows you to adjust it to fit your needs. Of course, it also streams music and GPS instructions and pairs with other Bluetooth devices.

The neckband-style, Bluetooth headset offers a microphone with a noise-reduction rating of 23db and Kevlar-reinforced cabling to eliminate tangles. It comes with earbuds in multiple sizes, but also has a speaker mode for earbud-free listening. Has up to 20 hours of music play time and 15 hours of talk time per charge.
