ELD Fact No. 26: As an added benefit, with the overwhelming adoption of Smartphones, truck drivers find them easy to use and see them as a vital part of their everyday life on the road. On the subject of this, Smartphones are also a perfect fit for drivers looking for a solution that un-tether them from the cab.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 27: Even though there are big differences between the AOBRD, EOBR and ELD devices, they share a few things in common, like:
- They track a driver’s HOS electronically;
- They need to be “integrally synchronized” with a truck’s engine, making sure drive segments are captured;
- Most will pass data to a system where a fleet or safety manager can see e-logs on a near real-time basis.
ELD Mandate Fact No. 28: A lot of fleets will wait for the mandate deadline to implement electronic logging devices.
ELD Fact No. 29: It’s not good to wait until the compliance deadline to implement an ELD solution because by waiting, fleets will miss out on a number of immediate benefits.
