In addition, the Congress states that all fleet management solutions need to have EOBR – electronic onboard recording in vehicles.
However, all GPS devices need to be certified by the FMCSA and log a duty status record and send it to the concerned authorities.
These laws are created all due to the safety of the driver, the vehicle and the company as well.
This also includes the Hours of Service (HOS) which according to the law, drivers must not go beyond 14 hours of driving without a 10-hour break after shifts.
Likewise, drivers are not allowed to drive for more than 70 hours in the 8-day period.
All of the regulations can be tracked with a vehicle GPS tracker.

For example, if an employee has been found stealing a property of the company, then implementing a vehicle rollout in company-owned vehicles is reasonable.
