Today’s fleet companies recognize that implementing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate is critically important, if only to avoid the fines and penalties of non-compliance.

This paper will review the ELD mandate highlights. Just as importantly, it will then provide a set of product and vendor selection criteria that will encourage you to think beyond just this initial, compliance-driven purchase. Electronic Hours of Service (HOS) tracking can not only be combined with other valuable fleet management tools, it can also be closely integrated with related solutions like worker tracking, cargo monitoring, and cutting-edge communications.
