Reasons You Need My20 ELD 

The ELD mandate is being fully enforced across the United States. Drivers without ELDs are being fined, and by December 19, 2019, all drivers with AOBRD will be required to switch to an ELD or will risk being placed out of service. The ELD mandate is the FMCSA’s push to further improve road safety for all drivers, commercial or not, and help minimize auto accidents. The first step to being successful with ELD is to know the ELD mandate basics. 

ELD Mandate Basics

ELD mandate. E-logs. Electronic logging devices. There is a lot of jargon when it comes to the ELD law, so understanding exactly what it entails is important for ELD compliance. The FMCA has strict rules regarding Hours of Service (HOS), or how long a driver can legally be on the road getting paid. Up until the ELD mandate was set into motion, paper logs were the go-to for keeping track of hours; however, paper logs can be easily falsified to allow drivers to break HOS laws. In the end, breaking these laws tends to put more fatigued drivers on the road, something just as dangerous as driving drunk, which ultimately raises the possibility for road accidents and fatalities.

In order to combat these roadway safety problems, the ELD mandate requires that all commercial truck drivers have a electronic logging device inside their vehicle as a tamper-proof way to keep track of logged hours (and reduce driver harassment). The final ELD rule was published December 16, 2015, but implementation of an ELD was required by December 18, 2017 (unless you’re exempt). After December 18, 2017, drivers without an ELD will be fined, and after April 1, 2018, drivers without an ELD will be placed out-of-service.

Luckily, Konexial offers the My20 ELD. My20 electronic logging device encompasses everything an independent owner-operator or fleet manager could want (and more) to meet the FMCSA ELD mandate.
