Want to keep your Fleet Safe?

Throughout the last decade, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has been dedicated to providing clear and actionable regulations that help drivers remain compliant while driving commercial motor vehicles. While there are groups that oppose the new FMCSA Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) mandate, the reality is that these devices will help ensure that your drivers are compliant with hours-of-service (HOS) regulations and make it easy for your fleet managers to monitor their duty status.

There are many ELDs available now on the market, and one of the benefits of a complete GPS fleet monitoring system is that your drivers can easily keep track of their hours and safety inspections, but your fleet managers can also view this information in real-time.

What are some of the benefits of these new mandatory electronic logging devices? Read the full article @ goo.gl/v1QBYf 

What is the Electronic Logging Device Mandate?

The Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate recently released by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) requires all trucks driving on U.S. highways to have an electronic logbook installed within their vehicle by December 18, 2017.

Our blog post published originally in our Fleet Complet Blog will teach you why it is best to get those ELDs up-and-running as soon as possible, instead of waiting until the final deadline.

Current legislation, FMCSA’s rule 395.15, states that drivers must log their duty status, whether they are operating the vehicle, or are on or off-duty. Furthermore, according to the United States Department of Transportation, these records must be readily available if requested by law enforcement. Drivers must be able to present their duty reports from the past seven days, plus the current day.

What is the Electronic Logging Device Mandate?

The 516-page ELD mandate, also known as the “Final Rule”, updated previous safety administrations to include sections on Hours-of-Service (HOS) and how electronic logging devices can make your drivers’ lives easier while remaining compliant with HOS.

The basics of the FMCSA ruling states that ELDs:

• Must track a driver’s hours-of-service electronically;
• Connect to the truck’s engine to capture drive status;
• Must be connected to a central monitoring system where a fleet manager can keep track of drivers’ status;
• Will address driver harassment problems by eliminating pressure.

Within two years, approximately three million drivers are expected to be impacted by this ruling. Unless otherwise exempt by the new rule, trucking fleets without fleet monitoring software that includes an electronic logbook will be required to update their technology.
