Question: How can a driver record their on-duty not driving status, such as working in a warehouse, on an ELD, prior to operating a commercial motor vehicle equipped with an ELD?

Answer: All of the driver’s hours of service must be accounted for when subject to the hours of service rules. A driver can manually add any on-duty not driving time accrued prior to operating a commercial motor vehicle.
