ELD Mandate • AOBRD valid 4 years after effective date • All vehicles required to adopt ELD within 2 years of final rule • Only exceptions are 100 and 150 air-mile drivers that had to complete a log 8 days (or less) out of last 30 days • No exceptions for: • Leased or rented vehicles • Driveaway/towaway drivers • “Non-trucking” motor carriers • Older or non-CDL vehicles

ELD Certification & Corrections • Driver must “certify” log within 24 hours • Cannot submit until last activity for the day is complete • Back office support edits must all be approved by driver • All annotations, comments, and changes must be retained, along with original • Driver direct access to 6 months logs

15. ELD Data Transfer • Standardized data output format • System can use any type of data, but output must be standard • May provide a “value-add” option for vehicle providers • Carrier provide data to Auditors and Drivers upon request • Carrier to maintain a “backup copy”
