Q. What information will ELDs be required to collect?
A. ELDs are required to record the following data elements
A. There are questions surrounding what data electronic logging devices (ELDs) will automatically record while a vehicle is being driven.
Under the ELD mandate, an ELD will be required to record the following information:
The ELD will also collect identification information about the driver, authenticated user, and motor carrier.
When the vehicle is in motion, location data will be recorded at 60-minute intervals. Data will also be recorded when the truck is turned off and when the engine is shut down. It will also record at changes of duty status for personal use or during yard moves.
Location data will be recorded according to latitude and longitude, and not street addresses, within one mile of the truck’s actual location. The data does have to show the approximate distance and direction of an identifiable location, such as a nearby city or town with a state designation.
The ELD will automatically go into driving mode and begin recording once the vehicle is moving at 5 miles per hour.
