Compliance with this ELD Mandate can provide benefits for vehicle fleets beyond simply avoiding noncompliance penalties, such as reducing paperwork and fraudulent time entries.
RASTRAC ELD-Compliant GPS Systems Let You:
Monitor Driver Hours of Service
Electronically Log ELD Records Remotely
Rastrac’s fleet management software and GPS tracking devices let fleet managers remotely collect critical ELD data for storage. This empowers compliance with ELD record retention rules.
Collect Location Information
To be compliant, ELDs need to be able to collect location information at every:
- Change of duty status;
- 60-minute interval;
- Engine-on/off event; and
- Beginning of personal use or yard move.
GPS tracking devices collect information for these events and more.
Identify Sensor Failures and Data Edits
Malfunctions in the vehicle need to be detected and recorded for basic ELD rule compliance. Furthermore, inconsistencies in the data which would indicate tampering should also be recorded to maintain compliance. Rastrac’s fleet management tools give users the ability to collect both sets of information—preventing time card and fuel fraud while keeping ELDs compliant with FMCSA requirements.
