E-L-What? Electronic Logging Devices
Jonathan Groda, Next Level Purchasing, 2/28/2018
Since 2015, the logistics and trucking communities have been abuzz with conversations regarding Electronic Logging Device mandates. ELDs are devices that track and record a truck driver's driving time. As of December 2017, it is mandatory for a variety of commercial vehicles to include these devices. Affected vehicles include those with Department of Transportation Class 3 or greater and any vehicles transporting hazardous materials. The devices are intended to increase safety, increase road time, and reduce the amount of paperwork that drivers are required to handle. This year, companies will begin to observe the mandate's impact and - presumably - make fundamental changes to their operations.
