ELD Fact No. 53: If a specific vehicle is used for personal transportation, the ELD wouldn’t document that time as an on-duty driving. An ELD will immediately recognize the difference between personal and on-duty not driving. Thus, it automatically updates status.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 54: When a driver specifies personal utilization, the recording accuracy of position information is reduced to one decimal place, or enclosed by a radius of 10 miles.
ELD Fact No. 55: The FMCSA mandate needs to be synchronized with the CMV engine in order to automatically capture the engine’s power status, the vehicle’s miles driven as well as the engine hours.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 56: Another fact is that ELDs must retain Hours of Service (HOS) electronic log records for six months.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 57: Those who actually use paper logs are required to implement the ELD within two years period.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 58: Carriers are allowed to save $400 million each year by reducing the number of crashes caused by the fatigued driving.
