Electronic Logging Device (ELD) Mandate & Compliance: What you need to know.
By December 18, 2017, all qualified drivers must log records of duty status (“RODS”) electronically.
What is the electronic logging device (ELD) rule?
The ELD Rule was recently published by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration). It is part of an initiative to improve safety on the road, while insuring drivers keep total control over their own Hours of Service (HOS) records.
Does the ELD rule apply to me?
The ELD Rule applies to commercial interstate truckers and bus drivers who meet the requirements based on weight or activity to record duty status information.
How much will it cost my fleet to be compliant?
Cost and pricing model will vary by provider, depending on which components are included in an ongoing subscription and which components you own outright.
FMCSA had issued regulations that go into effect on 12/18/2017 requiring all commercial vehicles to be equipped with an Electronic Logging Device (ELD).
