electronic logging devices

Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are digital tools used in commercial trucking to automatically record a driver’s hours of service (HOS). They connect to a vehicle’s engine to track driving time, ensuring compliance with regulations designed to prevent fatigue. ELDs log data such as driving hours, engine idle time, and breaks, providing accurate and tamper-resistant records. This helps improve road safety by ensuring drivers take necessary rest periods, while also making record-keeping more efficient and less burdensome compared to paper logs.
