FMCSA-ELD-395-Q023(2022-03-10)

Question: May electronic logging device (ELD) providers configure the ELD to identify potential hours of service violations?

Guidance: The minimum functional specification requirements in the ELD rule do not require ELDs to identify hours of service violations; however, some ELD providers have elected to offer this as an add-on feature. If an ELD provider offers this add-on feature but does not update their device to reflect the 20202020 changes to the new hours of services rules, the ELD may inaccurately identify hours of service violations. Motor carriers should contact their ELD providers with specific questions about what information their ELD displays.
