Understanding ELDs

An electronic logging device (ELD) is a system designed to automatically log driving time in commercial motor vehicles (CMV).

According to the ELD rule mandate set out by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), commercial motor vehicles in both the USA and Canada must be fitted with Electronic Logging Devices to comply with road safety regulations.

The mandate requires that commercial fleet drivers move away from paper logbooks, which are prone to human error. ELDs assist drivers with their compliance to HOS rules, ensuring that they have appropriate working hours and rest periods to mitigate fatigue on the road.

With accurate digital logs, fleet operators can also better manage their compliance obligations, driver safety and operational costs.

Our ELD solution provides in-app support features that allow drivers to access assistance and resources directly from their mobile devices or onboard systems. Whether it's troubleshooting technical issues, seeking guidance on regulatory compliance, or accessing training materials, in-app support ensures that drivers have the assistance they need at their fingertips.

Features

Our ELD solution is designed to revolutionize fleet management by offering a comprehensive suite of features that streamline workflows, ensure compliance, and enhance operational efficiency. It offers improved driver experience, deployment flexibility, and highly efficient workflow management.

• **Deployment Flexibility: **Fleet leaders can choose between a BYOD or end-to-end managed service. Both of these provide an ‘open environment’ where adding additional applications to the device or integrating with third-party systems is easier than ever before.
• End-to-End Workflow Management: From dispatch to delivery, our ELD solution offers end-to-end workflow management capabilities, enabling fleet managers to orchestrate every aspect of their operations seamlessly. From load assignment and route optimization to tracking and reporting, our solution streamlines processes and improves overall efficiency.
• **Approval of Admin-Initiated Log Edits: **Fleet managers can initiate log edits when necessary, such as correcting errors or addressing discrepancies. Our solution allows for efficient approval workflows, ensuring that all edits are properly reviewed and authorized before being reflected in the electronic logs, maintaining data integrity and compliance.
• **Flexibility to Add Other Apps: **Our solution offers flexibility by allowing the integration of third-party applications to meet specific business needs. Whether it's integrating with accounting software, fuel management systems, or telematics platforms, our solution adapts to the unique requirements of each fleet, maximizing functionality and efficiency.
• **Tracking Unidentified Driving: **Our solution includes advanced tracking capabilities to monitor unidentified driving events, such as instances where the driver is not logged into the ELD system or using a non-compliant device. By identifying and addressing unidentified driving, fleet managers can maintain compliance with HOS regulations and enhance overall safety.
• ELD App: Our user-friendly ELD app provides drivers with an intuitive interface for logging their hours of service, managing duty status changes, and accessing essential information on-the-go. With real-time synchronization and robust data encryption, our app ensures seamless compliance with regulatory requirements while maximizing convenience for drivers.
• Roadside Inspections (DOT Exports): Our solution simplifies roadside inspections by providing DOT-compliant exports of electronic logs, ensuring that drivers have access to accurate and up-to-date records during inspections. With seamless integration with roadside inspection systems, our solution expedites the inspection process, reducing downtime and minimizing disruptions.
• Driver License and Endorsement: Our ELD solution includes features for managing driver licenses and endorsements, ensuring that only properly licensed and endorsed drivers operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs). Fleet managers can easily track and verify driver credentials, enhancing safety and compliance across the fleet.
• **Deployment Flexibility: **Our ELD solution supports deployment flexibility by allowing fleets to bring their own devices (BYOD), or opt for a managed service where our team takes care of the end-to-end integration. Whether using smartphones, tablets, or ruggedized devices, our solution seamlessly integrates with a wide range of devices, ensuring compatibility and ease of use
• Malfunction and Diagnostic Monitoring: Our ELD solution includes built-in diagnostics and monitoring features to detect malfunctions or issues with ELD hardware or software. By proactively identifying and addressing potential issues, fleet managers can minimize downtime, ensure data accuracy, and maintain compliance with regulatory requirements.
