Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate

ELD solution must:• Automatically capture movement of the CMV

• Connect to the vehicle’s engine and collect engine data

• Device must change to drive duty status when motion is detected

• Must not allow any deletion of the drive time

• Be tamperproof

• Data must be encrypted to ensure security

• Edits/Annotations must identify who made them

• All persons accessing the system must have accounts to identify them

• ELD must be mounted (secured fixed position), visible while driver is operating the vehicle but be easily removed to hand to inspectors as needed.
