The ELD mandate is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rule requiring most commercial motor vehicle operators to register HOS using an electronic logging device (ELD). The ELD mandate was created to increase roadway safety by minimizing the risk of driver fatigue and by making sure that HOS information is accurately reported and transmitted, all while keeping companies in compliance with stipulations and standards enforced by the Department of Transportation.
TruckX provides FMCSA-certified ELD solutions to help fleets comply with the ELD mandate. Our ELDs automatically track driving time, rest periods, and off-duty hours, ensuring that all logs are accurate and easily accessible. The system alerts drivers and fleet managers when HOS limits are approaching, reducing the risk of violations and fines. With real-time reporting and GPS tracking, fleet operators gain visibility into their drivers’ schedules and can optimize routes to increase efficiency while remaining compliant.
In addition to these other advantages, TruckX’s ELD solutions simplify audit readiness by keeping HOS data securely stored and readily available for inspection. Fleet managers can map all their drivers’ operations in one centralized dashboard at any time, boosting fleet safety and operational efficiency.
