Electronic logging device
An ELD connects to the vehicle engine to automatically record engine hours, speed, odometer, GPS current location data, driving time, and miles driven. The ELD sends collected data to the ELD provider server and creates appropriate logs. Drivers can access electronic logging information through mobile app on their smartphone or tablet. Dispatchers, fleet managers, and compliance managers can access these logs through the integration of the transportation management system (TMS) and use reports, location maps, and real-time notifications.
