ELD (Electronic Logging Device)

    An Electronic Logging Device automatically records driving time and Hours-of-Service data for commercial motor vehicles in interstate commerce. FMCSA's ELD rule, 49 CFR Part 395, requires most CMV drivers to run a certified device, replacing paper logs and giving safety teams tamper-resistant duty-status records for inspections and audits.

    An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) automatically records driving time and Hours-of-Service (HOS) data for commercial motor vehicles operating in interstate commerce. FMCSA's ELD rule (49 CFR Part 395) requires most CMV drivers to use a certified ELD. Modern trucking CRMs and recruiting platforms surface ELD-derived HOS status alongside driver records so recruiters and safety teams can spot issues quickly.
