ELD Mandate

The ELD (Electronic Logging Device) Mandate requires commercial truck drivers to use electronic devices to automatically record their hours of service, such as driving and resting times. This helps ensure compliance with regulations designed to prevent fatigue and improve safety on the roads. The devices replace traditional paper logbooks, making record-keeping more accurate and easier to monitor by authorities. Implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), the mandate aims to reduce accidents caused by driver fatigue, promote fair competition among carriers, and enhance overall transportation safety.
