Integrate Apollo ELD with Highway

Before any integration or connection can take place all ELD devices will need to be activated via the activation code provided per each individual GPS device in the Linxup GPS portion of the software solution. These devices should be installed and have approximately an hour to allow for coming online in the Linxup GPS portion of the software portal.

Additionally, before any integration or connection can take place the Highway account must be logged into and set up accurately for validation. To begin those steps of your set up process with Highway, log in to your Highway account on https://highway.com/ to follow the directed instructions per the Highway software platform for verification.

The Apollo ELD admin portal must also be set up properly. (See Apollo ELD onboarding section of this Help Center). Users will need to log in to the Apollo ELD admin portal via the Linxup GPS software. 

NOTE: Per Highway software, having active, in use, vehicles not accurately listed in the Apollo ELD admin portal and also the Highway software both on insurance policies can trigger red flags due to liability risks. Additional equipment verification steps are required by Highway and will be prompted during this process via https://highway.com/onboarding/carrier/equipment:

1. Search for the Apollo ELD software provider as shown above.
   • For Apollo ELD, select ‘Apollo Cloud’ shown below.

2. Copy and paste your already existing Apollo ELD API key from the Apollo ELD admin portal ‘Manage’ tab shown below is where the auto generated Apollo API key is located. It is not needed to generate a new one. Use the existing auto generated key unless directed to do so otherwise.

• The following screenshots show where to find your unique Apollo ELD API key inside the Apollo ELD admin portal ‘Manage’ tab then clicking the blue ‘Carrier’ person icon:

• Paste the copied Apollo ELD auto generated API key into the prompted Highway field below.  

NOTE: The integration requirements from Highway in order to be successful additionally listed below. If all steps above have been done in advance, Highway will begin to sync the integration once it validates the API key you copy/pasted from the Apollo ELD admin portal, provided your account meets these following conditions. Highway needs the following available:

• The copy/pasted API key must connect to a valid, active Apollo ELD account that has vehicles in the assets section. This information must be filled out ahead of time by main administrators in the Apollo ELD admin portal. (No drivers have any permissions to complete this on their own.)
• You must have at least 1 active vehicle entered into the Apollo ELD admin portal assets section. (Per Highway, this information must be accurate, up to date and correspond to the COI Highway has on file for you.)
• There must be recent valid eld logs generated in Apollo ELD via vehicle movement. (Highway needs to see that same vehicle you're attempting connection to moving within the past 7 days.)
• If you have owned trailers that you operate and wish to see, this information should be accurate and active in the Apollo ELD admin portal ‘assets’ section of the ‘manage’ tab as well. This is the same section your vehicle information should be located.
