Question: Are drivers allowed to edit their records of duty status (RODS) using the electronic logging device (ELD) back office support systems once they leave the commercial motor vehicle (CMV)?

Answer: Yes. Drivers may edit their RODS using ELD back office support systems. While these edits or corrections are allowed to ensure an accurate record of the driver’s duty status, under 49 CFR 395.30(f) and the technical specifications in 49 CFR part 395, subpart B, Appendix A, the electronic record must retain what was originally recorded, as well as the date, time, and identity of the individual entering the corrections or edits.

Contact Info: FMCSA ELD Information, 1-800-832-5660 or ELD@dot.gov.
