ELD Implementation

Posted 12/18/2017

Phase-In Compliance Begins Today - December 18, 2017

The electronic logging device (ELD) rule Phase 2 starts today. The ELD rule is part of MAP-21, a congressionally mandated bill that is intended to help create a safer work environment for truck drivers. MAP-21 mandates electronic logging to track, manage, and share records of duty status for all truck drivers. An ELD device synchronizes with a vehicle's engine to automatically record driving time, thus accurately tracking hours of service. December 18, 2017, marks the two-year-phased implementation timeline to give drivers and carriers time to comply. Mandatory use of ELDs will be fully enforced by December 16, 2019. Below, please find a flyer outlining the new rule and its possible impacts:
