Drivers must update their status using the driving log software. The recorded status categories include:

• OFF: The driver is off duty and not engaged in any work-related activities.
• SB: The driver is in the sleeper berth, resting, or taking a break.
• D: The driver is actively operating the vehicle.
• ON: The driver is on duty but not driving, such as during inspections or waiting for dispatch. Additionally, the ELD records the driver’s location (city and state) whenever a status change occurs.

Yes, the ELD rule allows smartphones (Android/iPhone) and other wireless devices to function as ELDs, provided they meet the required technical specifications. To verify if a specific ELD qualifies, refer to the FMCSA’s Registered ELDs list.

An ELD (Electronic Logging Device) is a device that automatically tracks a driver’s driving time and other hours-of-service (HOS) information. It connects to the vehicle’s engine to capture data such as engine status, vehicle movement, miles driven, and engine operation time. With an ELD, law enforcement can access a driver’s HOS records through the ELD’s display screen, a printout, or by retrieving data electronically from the device.

The FMCSA’s ELD mandate first took effect on December 18, 2017. All drivers and carriers required to comply needed to have either an ELD or an AOBRD installed in their vehicles. After December 16, 2019, AOBRDs were no longer acceptable for compliance with the ELD mandate. If your fleet is still using AOBRDs, it is no longer in compliance.
