ELD Electronic Logging Devices

ELD provides essential compliance and tracking solutions primarily focused on Electronic Logging Devices for commercial motor vehicles. Their modular plug-and-play systems, such as the ELD PT30U and various companion applications, are designed to seamlessly integrate with a vehicle's engine control module to automatically record driving time and maintain strict Hours of Service (HOS) logs.

In addition to ensuring FMCSA and DOT inspection compliance, many ELD products support features like real-time GPS tracking, vehicle diagnostics, split sleeper provisions, and immediate data transfer via email or web services. The ELD platform encompasses robust app-based logging solutions compatible with modern iOS and Android mobile devices, delivering reliable roadside reporting for fleet managers and independent drivers alike.

• How do I install my ELD device?

  Ensure your vehicle's engine is turned off. Locate the diagnostic port (typically under the dashboard or steering wheel), connect the ELD plug, and rotate the locking mechanism until it securely locks into place. The device will then automatically synchronize with your engine control module once powered on.

• What does a red Bluetooth icon mean on my ELD app?

  A red Bluetooth icon typically indicates that the connection between the ELD hardware and your mobile application is not established. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your tablet or smartphone and verify the ELD is securely plugged into the diagnostic port.

• How do I transfer logs to an officer during a roadside inspection?

  Open your ELD app, navigate to the DOT Inspection or Roadside Inspection menu, and select 'Transfer Logs'. You can usually choose to transfer the data via Email, Web Services, Bluetooth, or USB depending on your device interface. Enter any comments provided by the officer and confirm the transfer.

• What causes an 'Unidentified Driving' record?

  An unidentified driving record is created if the vehicle is in motion while the ELD is connected, but no driver is currently logged into the application. Once you log in, the unidentified driving events will be displayed on your dashboard and you will be prompted to claim or assign them.
