The document provides information about electronic logging devices (ELDs) that will soon be required for most commercial vehicle drivers. It discusses the history of electronic logs and how ELDs differ from other options. Key criteria for evaluating ELD solutions include adaptability, return on investment, compliance capabilities, automated workflows, and future integration. The document also outlines risks and opportunities of ELD adoption and recommends having a transition plan to mitigate risks and select the best drivers for a staged rollout.

Editor's Notes
- Established in early 2012 Set out to make a fleet management app for SMB The #1 driver log app for Android and iOS devices Over 230,000 downloads – thousands of logs every day
- The first HOS regulations came into law in 1938 Since that time HOS regulations have gone through several revisions to reach the current rules. Most recent changes came in December 2014 with the rescinding of 34 hour restart rule I’m going to talk about some of the options for logging
- Driver creates log(s) of paper graph Driver collect receipt/supporting documents during trip Driver keeps past days logs for inspection purposes Drivers submits logs to fleet office or sends by Fax or TripPak Fleet audits log or has a firm audit log (Paper and Audit) Fleet reprimands as required based on audit results Fleet stores all logs for 6 months plus current month for audit purposes
- Log automatically created Driver collects associated supporting papers during trip(s) Past days logs stored digitally for inspection purposes Logs audited and visible to fleet in real-time Dashboard view of all logs and potential violations Facilitates driver coaching and education All logs stored digitally for 6 months plus current month and are available at any time.
- AOBRD This term is still used, but usually it’s used interchangeably with EOBR. You could say this is the grandfather of the ELD. The AOBRD gained legal status as an alternative to paper logs in 1988. It’s still the only officially supported engine-connected logging solution EOBR If you’re paying a lot of money for something that connects to your engine and keeps track of its information, it’s an EOBR. The legislation that was struck down in 2011 would have mandated use of EOBRs across the industry. The FMCSA is now using the term ELD which has less baggage attached to it and can be more specifically defined (by them). ELD ELD is the most recently proposed standard for engine-connected driver logs. The specifics are laid out in this rule, but any of them could change before the final rule is published. Many vendors are already calling their current devices ELDs in advance of the final rule. Electronic Logbook Electronic logbooks are paper log replacements. With no connection to the engine, electronic logbooks are for the fleet that wants to make their lives easier without the prohibitive expense. Drivers are still responsible for filling out their logs, but they have a tool to help them out.
- These are some of the situations where people ask whether they will be required to comply with ELD. There are no exemptions to ELDs based on fleet size There is no mention of exemption for older trucks, this will most likely mean that older trucks will have to be retro fitted to become ELD compliant Anyone who is currently required to fill out driver logs will be required to have an ELD. Current Short-Haul exemptions will continue with a small amount of monthly long haul trips per month being allowed to use traditional logging methods.
- Safety score: no errors in logs, disincentive to bend rules Efficiency: ease paperwork burden, better routing, automate IFTA, consolidate technology Customer service: truck location, ETA, planning Driver incentives: make safety a priority, technology benefits Profitability: reduce costs, capitalize on load opportunities
- Financial Burden Examine what additional features a product can offer that your company is already spending money on. Keeping Up With Competition Your competition will be under the same regulations as you. By being an early adaptor you can be better prepared for the mandate.
