AOBRD vs ELD? AOBRD (Automatic On-Board Recording Device) These systems have been around for a while and are basically a digital version of driver logs with limited link between truck’s ECM Will be required by the vast majority of trucks built after 2000 that currently keep paper logs Motor carriers have until December 2017 to purchase and implement AOBRD ELD (Electronic Logging Device) Similar to AOBRD but requires a link between the transponder and truck ECM More rigorous data requirements than AOBRD including engine status and VIN Fleets with AOBRD have until December 2019 to implement ELD www.trakopoliscorp.com

ELD Roadmap

Road Safety Benefits of ELD Drivers in serious violation (e.g., driving over prescribed limits) of the HOS regulations are 45% more likely to be involved in an accident than those who are in compliance. Drivers with patterns of non-compliance were found to be at 90% greater risk of collision. Carriers that have a pattern of serious hours of service violations have a crash rate 90% higher than the average. Source: American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) The ELD mandate is intended to have a direct and immediate impact on curbing this behavior! www.trakopoliscorp.com

What is the latest on the ELD Mandate? The U.S. House of Representatives defeated an amendment late Wednesday (Sept. 6) that would have restricted funding for the ELD mandate until at least Sept. 30, 2018. The amendment was added to an appropriations bill by Rep. Brian Babin (R-TX). It was voted down 246-173. There is a still a standalone bill (H.R.3282-Babin) that would delay the mandate for two years, but despite at least 45 co-sponsors, it still has not been moved to the House floor for any vote. www.trakopoliscorp.com

Why do it now? Technically, you don’t have to yet? But…. Technology implementation will be transformational to business. We know it’s coming better to be prepared. Electronic log books are MUCH more efficient. www.trakopoliscorp.com
