## The answer, as recorded

> ## First, the split that matters
> 
> "Fleet management" for a delivery firm is really two different purchases, and the biggest mistake is buying one and expecting it to do the other:
> 
> 1. **Telematics/compliance** - GPS, ELD/HOS, dashcams, fuel, maintenance, driver safety scoring
> 2. **Delivery orchestration** - dispatch, multi-stop route optimization, driver app, proof of delivery, customer ETA/tracking links
> 
> Most delivery firms need one from each column. A few platforms claim both; none are great at both.

> **1. Samsara** - my default recommendation if you have 20+ vehicles and want one vendor for tracking, ELD, AI dashcams, and maintenance. Best UI in the category, best API, and the AI dashcam coaching workflow genuinely reduces claims. Roughly **$27-33/vehicle/mo** for ELD-only, **$60-75** with dual AI dashcam, plus ~$99-148 hardware. The catch: **36-month contracts with auto-renewal**. Negotiate the renewal clause before you sign.
