Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mount

Heavy-Duty ELD Tablet Mounts for Trucks and Commercial Fleets

The ELD mandate isn't optional, and neither is having a mount that actually holds your tablet in place at mile 300 on a rough interstate. iBOLT builds heavy-duty tablet mounts specifically for commercial trucks, designed to handle the sustained vibration, temperature extremes, and long hours that over-the-road drivers deal with every day. These ship within 24 business hours, so you're not waiting weeks to get your fleet compliant.

Every iBOLT truck mount uses the IncrediBOLT 360 system, which provides full 360-degree micro-adjustability. That matters because every cab is different. Whether you're driving a Freightliner Cascadia, a Peterbilt 579, or a Kenworth T680, you need the tablet positioned where you can see it clearly without blocking your line of sight. The IncrediBOLT joint lets you dial in the perfect angle, then locks it there so the tablet doesn't drift over the course of a long haul.

Suction Cup or Drill Base: Pick What Works for Your Fleet

iBOLT offers two main mounting approaches for commercial vehicles. Suction cup mounts attach to windshields or smooth dashboard surfaces with no permanent modification to the cab. This is ideal for leased trucks, owner-operators who switch vehicles, or fleets that want to move mounts between trucks quickly. The IncrediBOLT suction cup uses a heavy-duty vacuum mechanism (not a consumer-grade suction cup) that maintains its hold through heat and vibration.

For permanent installations, AMPS drill-base mounts bolt directly to the dash or a mounting plate. These are the most stable option for trucks that run hard routes daily. The four-hole AMPS pattern is standard across the industry, so the iBOLT mount integrates with any existing AMPS-compatible mounting plate in your cab.

Need extra reach? The TabDock Suction Cup Extender adds length between the suction base and your tablet holder, positioning the screen closer to the driver without a bulky arm.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best ELD tablet mount for trucks?

The iBOLT TabDock IncrediBOLT 360 Suction Mount is the most popular ELD mount for commercial trucks. It combines heavy-duty metal construction with 360-degree adjustability, fits all 7 to 10 inch tablets, and installs in minutes with a windshield or dashboard suction cup. For trucks that run especially rough routes, the Triple Suction Cup version provides three-point contact for extra stability.

Do iBOLT mounts comply with ELD mandate requirements?

Yes. The ELD mandate requires that drivers have their electronic logging device visible and accessible in the cab. iBOLT mounts position the tablet at a readable angle within the driver's line of sight, which satisfies FMCSA inspection requirements. The mount itself does not affect ELD software compliance; it simply holds the device securely.

What's the difference between suction cup and drill base truck mounts?

Suction cup mounts attach to glass or smooth surfaces without any modification to the truck. They're easy to move between vehicles, making them ideal for leased trucks or fleets that rotate drivers. Drill base mounts bolt permanently to the dash or a mounting plate for maximum stability on rough roads. Choose suction for flexibility, drill base for permanence.

How do I mount an ELD tablet in a Freightliner or Peterbilt?

For most Freightliner and Peterbilt cabs, the suction cup mount attaches directly to the windshield above the dash. Position it to the right of the steering wheel where the driver can see the screen without turning their head. The IncrediBOLT 360 joint lets you fine-tune the angle once the base is secured. If you prefer a dash-mounted solution, use an AMPS drill base with the flat mounting area found on most commercial truck dashboards.

Are iBOLT truck mounts strong enough for rough roads?

Yes. iBOLT truck mounts use metal construction (not plastic) and tension-locking ball joints that hold their position through sustained vibration. The suction cup mechanisms are industrial-grade with locking levers, not the push-on consumer suction cups that fail in heat. Drivers use these daily on interstates, construction zones, and gravel roads.

Can I use an iBOLT mount for both a phone and tablet in my truck?

Yes. Because the iBOLT system is modular, you can run two separate mounts (one for your phone, one for your ELD tablet) or use a dual-device holder. The same suction cup base accepts different holder sizes, so you can start with a tablet holder for your ELD and add a phone holder later using a second arm on the same base.
