Electronic Logging Device (ELD)

An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is a digital tool used by commercial drivers to automatically record their hours of service, ensuring they comply with regulations on driving times and rest periods. It connects to a vehicle’s engine to track driving activity, simplifying documentation and reducing paperwork. ELDs enhance safety by preventing driver fatigue, improve accuracy by eliminating manual logs, and ensure roadside compliance for trucking companies. They are mandated by regulations in many regions to promote responsible driving and improve road safety.
