How ELD Devices have affected the trucking industry?
The purpose of the FMCSA ELD devices data tracking implementation is to improve significantly commercial truckers’ compliance with hours-of-service rules.
In the period leading up to the ELD device mandate, nearly 67% of the fleets surveyed were compliant, and 22% of fleets became compliant by the ELD compliance deadline.
As the ELDs track the truck driver’s hours of work, location, distance traveled, and perhaps even driver behavior, this enforcement is projected to minimize driving fatigue.
This kind of technology can be revolutionary in the commercial fleet industry and is predicted to be a game-changer for transportation businesses and drivers.
Many stakeholders in the commercial trucking industry are concerned about the effects of the e-log and the future challenge to fulfill the demands of shippers.
Therefore, this article addresses how the ELD affects the trucking industry in terms of service and benefits.
