New! Mobile+ In-Cab 6.4.2 Release Notes

Transflo is pleased to announce the release of Transflo Mobile+ In-Cab 6.4.2 available exclusively for tablet devices running Android 9.0 or newer.

Release Date: February 20, 2025

Tip: As a driver, you are not expected to download the in-cab edition from the Apple or Google Play app stores. Your fleet administrator distributes the in-cab edition release updates directly to your tablet device for you.

 

Release 6.4.2 of the in-cab edition of the Transflo Mobile+ app includes the following new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

This release includes improved document scanning, photo capture, image correction, upload, and send features. Our new scanning and photo capture engine addresses previous user pain points, provides bug fixes, and enhances the user experience across the entire app.

  • Easy One-Touch Settings Button: You can now conveniently adjust all scan settings inside the core scanning interface.

    • Users can easily swap between settings on the fly.

    • The app remembers and applies your most recent settings.

    • Added scan support for Night Mode.

  • Scan Adjustments and Scanned Items Improvements: The following improvements were made on the Scan Adjustments and Scanned Items screens.

    • Added ability to apply selected document type to all pages.

    • Added ability to view multiple documents in Scan Adjustments screen.

    • Added a carousel to the Scan Adjustments screen.

    • Updated how zoom works on the Scan Adjustments screen.

    • Added an animated visual progress indicator on the Scan Adjustments screen to let the user know when documents are loading.

    • Added ability to swipe to delete documents on Scanned Items screen.

    • Updated footer of Scanned Items screen.

    • Added grouping by document type to Scanned Items screen.

    • Added document type selectors to the Scan Adjustments screen and the Scanned Items screen.

  • Custom Photo Image Cropping: Save or reset user-defined cropped regions in your scanned documents.

    • When you upload or scan a document you can crop it on the Scan Adjustments screen where five (5) buttons appear: Crop, Rotate, Format, Brightness, and Discard.

    • The app attempts to apply your last saved crop region to your next document.

    • To crop out a different unnecessary region of the page, you can drag the blue dots or grab handles around the document at each corner to crop the image down to show only the exact area you want to keep (the rest is unnecessary and will be hidden or cropped out from further view).

    • Users can also take advantage of a second Crop button that now appears on the Scan Adjustments screen where they can choose from the following three (3) Crop Image options:

      • Crop: To apply your current crop region to the document and save that same cropping shape or region so it can be applied by default to future documents to save you time, tap Crop. For example, maybe you often want to crop out the top 2-inches of all pages.

      • Reset: If you adjusted the last saved cropping region (you moved the blue dots) but want to discard your changes and revert to the last saved crop region, tap Reset.

      • Cancel: To cancel any crop adjustments, revert to the original document, and go back to the Scan Adjustments screen, tap Cancel.

  • Additional Scanning Improvements:

    • Enabled multi-selection within the native photo picker.

    • Updated the bad image and blurry image warnings to assist the user.

    • Depending on your fleet configuration, adding signatures can now be included as part of the final steps before submitting a batch.

  • Primarily for our larger customers who may be required by shippers to use commercial third-party apps such as Vector during load delivery, this release now supports embedded load document deep links.

  • Added deep link functionality for Netradyne and the FleetCor DRIVEN FOR COMDATA™ app.

  • Added EFS deep link support and additional new deep links for other apps.

  • Added the Context menu (also known as the Options menu indicated by ellipsis... or 3 dots) on the integrated HOS screens.

  • The in-app reminder message prompts for required device camera permissions and location access permissions have been improved.

  • Added a new ≡ Actions menu (often called the hamburger menu icon at top left) to provide access to the new Document Queue feature.

  • Suppressed any blank fields on the Load Details screen.

  • General bug fixes and quality enhancements.

The popular Transflo Mobile+ app for commercial motor vehicle truck drivers is available in three (3) main ways:

  • Standard mainstream app (the popular commercial app with over one million downloads available at no charge in both the Google Play and Apple app stores)

  • In-cab edition (for Android tablets that typically remain in the truck; not available at the app stores; this KB article is about the in-cab edition)

  • Custom (white label) app (with custom fleet features; available through the two mobile app stores)

The in-cab edition of the Transflo Mobile+ app typically remains in the truck to support one dedicated driver or multiple drivers in a team driving (or slip-seating) arrangement where drivers simply take the next available truck. The in-cab edition of Mobile+ runs exclusively on touchscreen tablet devices with the Android mobile operating system.

Contact Your Fleet Administrator to Determine if You Are Using the In-Cab Edition

As a driver, contact your fleet supervisor to determine if you should be using the standard Transflo Mobile+ app (as about 85% of drivers do) or a special edition such as a white label custom-branded edition for your company or the special in-cab edition.

Your fleet administrator distributes the in-cab edition release updates directly to your tablet device by installing an APK file. You cannot download the in-cab edition from the Apple or Google Play app stores. Controlling and managing the release updates are primary reasons why fleets want to use the reliable in-cab edition of the Transflo Mobile+ app.

Notes for Drivers Who Use In-Cab and Mobile+ on Their Own Personal Device

  • You cannot remain logged in to the HOS, ELD, and Telematics app or online portal on multiple devices. Use the HOS features on one and only one device at a time. For best results, use the in-cab system and log out when you are done driving.

  • To log in, the mobile app does not require a driver ID but the in-cab edition does.

  • If you want to view your loads on both the in-cab system and on your own mobile device, your login credentials must be exactly the same.

 

Reminder: Transflo is the premier provider of popular commercial apps, custom white label apps, in-cab tablet editions, and thousands of additional integration features. Due to all the possible product configuration changes for your specific fleet, it is possible that user interface labels, buttons, links, dials, tiles, icons, colors, logos, and placement on the screen can vary. Features can also be hidden from your view based on fleet ID or permissions. In the documentation, we cover a default setup with screen examples that are generally similar for smart phones and tablets running either iOS or Android OS. Adjust certain steps, if needed, to reflect your actual device and product configuration.
