Course Overview

This rule, often called the ELog rule or the ELD Mandate, requires almost all drivers who complete logs be switched over to electronic logging devices (ELDs) by December 18, 2017.
ELD is the most recent term to define an electronic device that can record a driver's driving hours and duty status automatically. This automatic connection to a vehicle's engine improves ELD compliance with the hours of service rules and simplifies the overall record-keeping process.
