ABOUT ELD
As of December 18, 2017, carriers and drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) subject to the ELD mandate are required to adopt electronic logging devices (ELDs).
The ELD will automatically record a driver’s on-duty and off-duty time, allowing drivers to spend less time preparing logs and more time doing what they do best: driving.
The intended result is a decrease in the frequency of fatigued driving by CMV drivers, reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses on our highways.
Carriers who install automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs) prior to December 18 will be able to use those devices until December 16, 2019, after which point they must upgrade or switch to ELDs.

FROTCOM ELD
Frotcom provides a module integrated with the ELD specifications and demands.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)'s engine is connected to a tablet running our application to record data (location, engine hours, miles, power status, motion and vehicle identification data).
These data is used to comply with the
Hours of Service (HOS) rules, replacing paper logbooks and Automatic On-board
Recording Device (AOBRD) systems.
The information is then synchronized with Frotcom Web and is available to the carrier fleet managements.
