Moreover, besides these regulations, there are the electronic logging devices (ELD) which highly impact the drivers.
According to the ELD mandate, every motor carrier must install an electronic device in their trucks so that the hours of service are automatically tracked.
In addition, the law states that drivers are allowed to drive for 11 hours only while having a 10-hour rest on a daily basis.
Prior to the mandate, most drivers kept manual log books to track their hours of service, while some of the larger carriers already had ELDs.
Most of the smaller carriers have complaints on the ELD, however, there are those having issues with the cost. The others dislike the fact of someone having them tracked down.
The rest probably has issues with the installing process which is why it is good when someone knows how to install a hardwired device.
