What’s the ELD Rule?
The electronic logging device (ELD) rule was congressionally mandated as part of MAP-21 and is intended to create a safer work environment for truckers and a safer road for motorists. In short, the ELD rule:- Requires ELD use by commercial truckers who are required to report hours-of-service records of duty status.
- Sets ELD performance standards and requires ELDs to be certified and registered with FMCSA.
- Prohibits harassment of truckers based on ELD data or connected technology.
- Provides recourse for truckers who believe they have been harassed on account of ELD data.
