In this post, we will be covering some important information pertaining to Telematics ELD e-Logs and HOS requirements.
Electronic Driver Logs, or e-Logs, are designed to eliminate manual paperwork, reduce traffic violations and minimize audit risks. By automating driver logs, fleet managers have the ability to easily track vehicle mileage logs and strengthen their fleet’s compliance regulations. In other words, communications are facilitated in an instantaneous manner.
Hours of service (HOS) for drivers in the commercial transportation industry is a series of regulations issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). For drivers operating a commercial motor vehicle for interstate (in the United States) or inter-provincial (in Canada) commerce, the HOS regulations will govern their allowable driving hours. A Telematics ELD (electronic logging device) is actually a software solution that automatically captures and logs a driver’s hours of services, monitors compliance with all regulations of both the United States and Canada, and provides automated warnings and notifications to the driver to ensure compliance. This software can run on any mobile device such as a mobile phone, however it is highly preferable to use a dedicated device for this purpose. A Telematics ELD solution thus fulfills government regulations by fully automating the entry, recording, completion and storage of all the information required for logbooks from the driver’s cab.
Btracking’s Telematics ELD is an elegant solution. Our DriverLog HOS app runs on any smartphone or dedicated tablet to smoothly manage your drivers log books. Btracking provides 3 methods to transmit and sync HOS and vehicle data to the Btracking GPS tracking platform.
