Electronic Logging Device (ELD) regulations

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are electronic tools mandated for commercial drivers to automatically record their driving hours, ensuring compliance with hours-of-service regulations. These rules limit how long drivers can operate vehicles consecutively to prevent fatigue and enhance safety. ELDs connect to a vehicle’s engine to track and log driving time, providing accurate, tamper-resistant data. Drivers must regularly review and update logs, and trucking companies are responsible for compliance and record-keeping. Overall, ELDs promote safety by ensuring drivers adhere to legal working hours, reducing accidents caused by fatigue.
