Therefore, I’m going to answer to what ELD is, how will effect your business and clear all the buzz around it.

Let’s start.

What is an Electronic Logging Device – ELD?

It’s an electronic solution for professional truck drivers and commercial motor carriers to track Hours of Service – HOS compliance.

Electronic Logging Device

The new ELD have to:

  • connect to the truck’s engine in order to record if the truck is in motion
  • allow the driver to log in and select On-duty, Off-duty, or On-Duty Not Driving, and depending on vehicle movement drive segments must be selected automatically
  • graphically display a Record of Duty Status – RODS, to make a quick look of hours easier for a driver
  • provide data in a format that can be transmitted to law enforcement in a different ways, such as wireless web services or USB
  • be provider-certified that the device meets the proper specifications
  • be listed on an FMCSA website

Does ELD apply to me and when should I have it?

All CDL drivers, required to keep a RODS (also called HOS reports), will have to use it by 2017. There are around 3 million vehicles in this category, and 3.4 million drivers.
