Connect your Samsara ELD to Trucker Tools
Quick answer
Authorize Trucker Tools to pull your Samsara vehicle/trailer GPS so loads track automatically by truck number — no driver app needed.
When your Samsara account is integrated with Trucker Tools, loads can track straight from the truck's ELD/GPS — the driver doesn't need to install an app. The Trucker Tools ELD team sets up the connection; your job is to authorize access correctly so every truck and trailer is visible.
What to get right when connecting
Grant access to the Entire Organization
During setup, the integration must be authorized for your Entire Organization — not a single vehicle or group. If it wasn't, Trucker Tools has to remove and re-add the integration to see all vehicles/trailers.
Use the correct Samsara account
If your fleet has more than one Samsara account, make sure the one integrated is the account that actually contains the trucks you're tracking.
Include trailer devices if you track trailers
Make sure trailer permissions are enabled so trailer assets appear, not just tractors.
Match the asset value
Give your broker the truck/trailer value exactly as it's named in Samsara. If you give a physical truck number but Samsara names the device differently, the load won't match.
💡 Trucker Tools initiates and completes the integration. Set it up or fix a missing-asset issue with the ELD team at eldsetup@truckertools.com or 703-955-3560.
