HOS and ELD

HOS and ELD

With the ELD mandate in full effect since December 6th, 2019, FMCSA officials are focusing on HOS Compliance.

Unassigned Driving Events

Drivers need to make sure there are no unassigned driving events on their ELDs, make sure when prompted for unassigned driving events to accept or reject the unassigned driving time. If you accept the unassigned driving, it is going to be added to your logs. By rejecting the unassigned event will alert and enable the back office to assign these events to the proper person.

If there is more than one event, make sure to accept or reject all of them one by one.

What to do if you do not get prompted to accept or reject an unassigned driving event, but you still have them on your device?

If you do not get a prompt asking to accept or reject an unassigned driving event, but these events still appear on your log for the past eight days, the reason is that you switched trucks, and you have been logged in a different device. When inspected by a safety official, they can see what unit you have been driving during the time of those events.

After eight days, unassigned events that you have on your device due to switching trucks will clear out.

On Duty Time

Drivers need to make sure their logs are showing On Duty Time for Vehicle Inspection Reports, Fueling, Loading, and Unloading.

New ELD Instruction Sheets will be provided to all drivers and needs to be placed in all units. New ELD User’s Manual can be downloaded here:
