Elogs

ELDS.
ZERO Paper.

Inteletrack offers an FMCSA certified solution highlighting a simple, easy-to-use touchscreen (via tablet or mobile phone) application that keeps you current with the ever-changing DOT rules. For an ELD to be used to record Hours of Service (HOS), it must be DOT-certified. The ELD mandate requires all commercial vehicles to have an ELD device fitted to replace the previous paper logbook systems.

“Hours of service” refers to the maximum amount of time drivers are permitted to be on duty including driving time, and specifies number and length of rest periods, to help ensure that drivers stay awake and alert. In general, all carriers and drivers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) must comply with HOS regulations found in 49 CFR 395.

Drivers simply log in to the app. The ELD is connected directly to the vehicle, so once the truck begins to roll, their hours are automatically tracked.
No worries. No hassles

How Do ELDs Work?

ELDs are designed to communicate with a vehicle’s ECU (engine control unit) that will gather current engine status as well as provide detailed GPS location. This data is sent to a logging device or an app that DOT officials can view at a roadside inspection.

When Did ELDs Become Federal Law in the United States?

ELDs were mandated by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) in December 2017.  An extension was granted until December 16, 2019 for fleets using older AOBRDs (automatic on-board recording devices), EOBRs (electronic on-board recorders) and E-Logs. Despite slight variations, the central function of all these devices is to electronically record a commercial driver’s activity and log HOS (Hours of Service), also known as RODS.

Who is Required to Have ELDs?

The ELD Final Rule applies to commercial interstate truckers (including owner operators and small carriers), bus drivers, and most motor carriers who are required to maintain RODS and HOS. Those who meet the requirements based on weight or activity to record duty status information are also required to comply. A general “rule of thumb” to consider is that if you’ve used paper logs for RODS or HOS in the past, you should confirm with your governing DOT (Department of Transportation) if the rule applies and understand what it would take to get ELDs working for your fleet.

HOS Final Rule

On June 1, 2020, FMCSA revised four provisions of the hours of service regulations to provide greater flexibility for drivers without adversely affecting safety. Motor carriers are required to comply with the new HOS regulations starting on September 29, 2020.

For an ELD to be used to record Hours of Service (HOS), it must be DOT-certified. The ELD mandate requires all commercial vehicles to have an ELD device fitted to replace the previous paper logbook systems.

ELD Compliance Dashboard

• Number of delivered and in-transit loads (blue).
• Real-time driver and ELD compliance information (green).
• Pending unidentified driving records that need to be assigned to drivers, requiring attention (yellow).
• Number of HOS violations for the current month (red).

Shipment Sync

Our integrated alerts can be customized to notify specific personnel, such as dispatchers or in-house mechanics for any issues that may arise while on the road.

Drivers or office personnel can initiate a dispatch, i.e., pickup or delivery, and can update information as required including ETA. Shippers or receivers can then log in to the portal and know where the truck is and get current ETA information.

This shipment feature alone significantly reduces the need for buying a separate Transportation Management System which, in turn, saves money and reduces complexity of managing additional products which are not commonly integrated with ELD software products. Inteletrac’s ELD platform will display such information as remaining driving time which allows better decision-making to schedule drivers and maximize effectiveness and efficiency.

An email (from a domain, for example: shipment-sync.com) is sent to each destination. Shippers and receivers (independently) can input specific warehouse arrival, bay number, safe parking information and additional notes.

Information about the motor carrier, a driver’s first and last name, shipping document, last known location is shown on the left pane and is updated every time the page is loaded.
