Question 56: What procedure should be followed if an electronic logging device (ELD) is replaced or reset?

Guidance: For a reset or replaced ELD, under 49 CFR 395.8(k), data or documents showing the driver’s records of duty status (RODS) for the previous 7 days must still be retained.  These can either be loaded into the “new” ELD or in paper format to be provided at roadside.
