The electronic logging device (ELD) rule is intended to help create a safer work environment for drivers, and make it easier, faster to accurately track, manage, and share records of duty status (RODS) data.
For carriers using AOBRDs (automatic onboard recording devices) before the rule compliance date December 18, 2017, the rule will replace AOBRDs with ELDs over a four-year implementation period.
An ELD synchronizes with a vehicle engine to automatically record driving time, for easier, more accurate hours of service (HOS) recording.
The rule applies to most carriers and drivers who are required to maintain RODS.
Carriers and Drivers who are subject to the rule must install and use ELDs by the appropriate deadline:
- Those who are using paper logs or logging software must transition to ELDs no later than December 18, 2017;
- And those who use AOBRDS prior to the compliance date must transition to ELDs no later than December 16, 2019.
