KSK ELD is a telematics provider that connects with Alvys to bring real-time truck locations and Hours of Service (HOS) status into your dispatch workflow. This integration is also known as KSK ELD, electronic logging device, or fleet tracking.

​
What This Integration Does

Connecting KSK ELD to Alvys allows your dispatch team to view current truck locations and driver HOS remaining-time clocks without leaving Alvys. Trailer tracking and IFTA mileage are not supported by KSK ELD. Only truck assets with KSK ELD devices will appear in tracking.

​
Prerequisites

Before connecting, confirm you have the following:
  • An active KSK ELD account with API access
  • Your KSK ELD API key
  • The Admin, Partner Admin, or Support role in Alvys

​
How to connect

​
Step 1: Generate an API token in KSK ELD

  1. Log into your KSK ELD account.
  2. Go to Management > API Tokens.
  3. Click Generate Token.
  4. Enter “Alvys Integration” as the token name and click OK.
  5. Copy the token. You will need it in the next step.

​
Step 2: Connect KSK ELD in Alvys

  1. Click your profile icon in the lower-left corner of Alvys to open Company Profile.
  2. Select the subsidiary you want to configure and click the Integrations tab.
  3. Expand the ELD section and click the pencil icon on the KSK ELD card.
  4. Enter your KSK ELD API token and click Save.
  5. Alvys will validate your credentials. Once confirmed, the integration status changes to active. After connecting, the following data is pulled from KSK ELD into Alvys:
    • Truck location: Current GPS coordinates for each truck with a KSK ELD device
    • HOS clocks: Remaining time values for each driver’s HOS limits — these are countdown clocks showing time remaining
Additional detail data such as odometer readings and fuel levels is also pulled when the device’s identifier is a numeric value. If the device uses a non-numeric identifier, basic location and HOS data will still display; only the additional detail fields (odometer, fuel) may not appear.

​
Map assets in Alvys

After connecting, link each truck or trailer in Alvys to its KSK ELD asset ID so location data flows correctly.
  1. Go to Assets in the left menu and select Trucks or Trailers.
  2. Double-click the asset you want to configure.
  3. Scroll down to the ELD Integrations section and click Add Integration.
  4. Select KSK ELD from the dropdown.
  5. Find your KSK ELD asset ID from the URL when viewing that asset in your KSK ELD account. For example, if the URL is app.kskeld.com/client/vehicle/25236, the ID is 25236.
  6. Enter the asset ID in the Integration ID field and click Save.
Repeat for each truck or trailer you want to track.

​
Map drivers in Alvys

To view driver Hours of Service in loads and the Dispatch Planner, link each driver to their KSK ELD driver ID.
  1. Go to Assets in the left menu and select Drivers.
  2. Double-click the driver you want to configure.
  3. Find the ELD Providers section and click Add ELD.
  4. Select KSK from the dropdown.
  5. Find your KSK ELD driver ID from the URL when editing that driver in your KSK ELD account. For example, if the URL is app.kskeld.com/client/driver/25236/details, the driver ID is 25236.
  6. Enter the driver ID in the Integration ID field and click Save.
Repeat for each driver who uses KSK ELD for their Hours of Service.

​
What syncs

Alvys requests updated data from KSK ELD on a regular basis. Truck locations and HOS clocks reflect the most recent values reported by the device.
  • Truck location: Current GPS coordinates for each truck with a KSK ELD device.
  • HOS clocks: Remaining-time countdown values for each driver’s HOS limits.
  • Odometer and fuel level: Pulled only for devices with numeric identifiers.
To confirm the integration is working, go to Loads, open a load that has a driver and truck assigned, and look for the truck location on the map or in the asset tracking section. If the integration is active and the truck has a KSK ELD device, the current location should be visible. The remaining-time HOS values should appear next to the driver’s name or in the driver detail panel.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Truck location is not showing

Confirm the truck has a KSK ELD device installed and powered on. Verify the API key in Alvys matches the one provided by KSK ELD — go to Management > Integrations and re-enter the key if needed. Check that the integration status shows as active.

​
HOS clocks are blank

Confirm the driver is logged in to the KSK ELD device for their current shift. Verify the device is actively transmitting to KSK ELD’s servers.

​
Odometer or fuel level is not showing

KSK ELD returns additional detail data (odometer, fuel level) only for devices with numeric identifiers. If the device uses a non-numeric identifier format, this detail will not display. Basic location and HOS data will still be available.
⚠️ Trailer tracking is not supported — only trucks. · IFTA mileage reporting is not available through KSK ELD. · Odometer and fuel level detail may not display for devices with non-numeric identifiers.

​
FAQs

Q: Can I track trailers with KSK ELD? A: No. KSK ELD does not return trailer data. Only truck assets are supported through this integration. Q: Why is odometer data not showing for one of my trucks? A: Odometer and fuel level detail data is available only for devices with numeric identifiers. If a specific truck’s device uses a non-numeric ID, those additional fields will not display. Basic location and HOS data will still appear for that truck. Q: Is IFTA mileage available? A: No. IFTA mileage is not supported by KSK ELD and is not available in Alvys through this integration.
