The electronic logging device (ELD) mandate – requires most regional and long-haul drivers of commercial motor vehicles to use ELDs (also known as ELogs) to record their hours of service.
The ELD mandate went into effect for interstate drivers on December 17, 2019.
In the time since many states changed their hours-of-service regulations to adopt the ELD mandate for in-state drivers as well. FMCSA and state investigators are using ELog data to conduct audits both onsite and at roadside inspections.
An ELD mandate in Canada will be enforced beginning in June 2022.
