Starting December 16, 2019, all carriers and drivers subject to the ELD rule must use ELDs.

Who is required to use ELDs?

Who must comply with the electronic logging device (ELD) rule? The ELD applies to most motor carriers and drivers who are currently required to maintain records of duty status (RODS) per Part 395, 49 CFR 395.8(a). The rule applies to commercial buses as well as trucks, and to Canada- and Mexico-domiciled drivers.

Do all trucks need electronic logs?

Every commercial bus and truck driver is now required to install and use an electronic logging device or ELD to maintain a record of compliance with the Hours of Services (HOS) rules to improve road safety and prevent driver fatigue.
