ELD Compliance
The ELD mandate under 49 CFR Part 395 Subpart B requires most drivers to log hours electronically — but a malfunctioning device or unassigned driving time can create a compliance gap just as real as a missing paper log once was.
We monitor ELD data for HOS violations, unassigned driving time, and malfunction flags, and troubleshoot device issues before they turn into a compliance gap.
Clean, defensible logs — and fewer roadside inspection issues tied to a malfunctioning or misconfigured device.
- 01Monitor ELD data daily for violations and anomalies.
- 02Resolve unassigned driving time promptly.
- 03Troubleshoot device malfunctions with drivers directly.
- 04Maintain ELD records per FMCSA retention requirements.
What the ELD mandate actually requires
The ELD rule (49 CFR Part 395 Subpart B) has been in force since December 16, 2019, requiring most drivers who keep records of duty status to use a registered, FMCSA-compliant device — the requirement applies to commercial motor vehicles at or above 26,001 lbs GVWR/GCWR, and to vehicles designed to carry 16 or more passengers for compensation.
Where ELD violations most often come from
Unassigned driving time (mileage recorded by the device but not attributed to a specific driver), missed data transfer, and device malfunctions are among the most common ELD-related issues found at roadside inspections — none of which require intentional wrongdoing to occur, which is exactly why ongoing monitoring matters more than a one-time setup.
