ELD Proposal • Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking published to Federal Register on 3/28/2014 • Rule addresses: • ELD Use • ELD Technical Standards • Retention of Supporting Documents • Carrier is responsible for ensuring ELD has been registered with FMCSA
ELD Mandate • AOBRD valid 4 years after effective date • All vehicles required to adopt ELD within 2 years of final rule • Only exceptions are 100 and 150 air-mile drivers that had to complete a log 8 days (or less) out of last 30 days • No exceptions for: • Leased or rented vehicles • Driveaway/towaway drivers • “Non-trucking” motor carriers • Older or non-CDL vehicles
ELD Technical Requirements • Data elements include: • Date and time • Location • 1 mile while on duty • 10 miles during personal use • Driver logged in • Engine hours and vehicle mileage • Vehicle identification • Authorized carrier identification • Engine, Speed & Distance must be captured by vehicle
ELD Technical Requirements • Must capture data elements • At startup and shutdown • At each change of duty status • Once per hour when vehicle is operating • At start and end of “personal use” or “yard time” • FMCSA is requesting info on how to handle older vehicles rather than requiring an alternate connection
ELD Display Requirements • Same as Current Requirements and: • Driver’s First and Last Name • ELD username • Total Engine Hours • Show Miles for each Driving period • ELD Malfunction Status • Data Diagnostic Status Indicator for the Authenticated Driver
ELD Account Creation • All Drivers and Support Personnel must have unique user name and password associated with their account • Driver account must include driver’s license information to provide unique ID • Driver must not have Administrative rights
Unassigned Driver Account • ELD must include “unassigned driver” account • All unassigned driving time must be assigned or accounted for • Could create a problem for carriers that use a leasing company that moves units around for them
ELD Certification & Corrections • Driver must “certify” log within 24 hours • Cannot submit until last activity for the day is complete • Back office support edits must all be approved by driver • All annotations, comments, and changes must be retained, along with original • Driver direct access to 6 months logs
ELD Driver Interaction • Driving time automatically calculated • Driver must have ability to add/update • Annotations • CMV number • Trailer numbers • Shipment Information • Output Comment, as requested by enforcement • Driver entries to be made when vehicle is stopped • Driver must notify carrier within 24 hours of system failure • Portable ELDs must be fixed mounted during operation
ELD Driver Interaction • ELD prompts Driver to Login if vehicle moves with no driver • Device requires alert if vehicle stops moving for 5 minutes • Defaults to On Duty if no driver entry within 1 min • Other automatic duty status settings are prohibited • Driver must add Location if no position fix at duty change • Driver does NOT have to be prompted when approaching hours limit • System must have “mute” to be used when driver is in the sleeper
ELD Roadside Process • Must be capable of producing Graph Grid at Roadside or Print • One step process for Data Transfer • Authorized Official selects method of transfer
ELD Roadside Data Transfer • At least One Primary Method: • Web Services • Bluetooth • Email • Two Backup Methods • USB (all devices must support) • Scannable QR Code • Transjet Transfer
ELD Data Transfer • Standardized data output format • System can use any type of data, but output must be standard • May provide a “value-add” option for vehicle providers • Carrier provide data to Auditors and Drivers upon request • Carrier to maintain a “backup copy”
Supporting Documents • Five Categories: • Origin & Destination (BOLs) • Dispatch & Trip Sheets • Expense Receipts • Mobile Communication • Payroll • Required Data Elements: • Driver Name • Date • Time • Location
Supporting Documents • Max of 10 records in 24 Hour Period • Drivers must submit to Carrier within 8 days • Drivers must produce at Roadside
