Fleet compliance
Electronic logging device (ELD)
An electronic logging device (ELD) is a device that has been mandated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to be installed in commercial trucks and buses to track and manage the driver’s hours of service (HOS). The ELD is a device that is installed in a commercial vehicle to automatically record the driver’s driving time, duration of job activities, and off-duty hours.
Learn moreCalifornia ELD Mandate
The “California ELD mandate” refers to the state-specific regulations and requirements in California related to the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) by commercial motor vehicle operators. In California, intrastate commercial drivers currently have the obligation to log their hours of service (HoS). However, they have the option to utilize traditional paper logs rather than the electronic logging devices (ELDs) mandated by the FMCSA for interstate commercial drivers.
Learn moreRecord of duty status (RODS)
The record of duty status (RODS) is a crucial component of the trucking industry that is used to ensure compliance with regulations governing the number of hours commercial truck drivers may work. The RODS is a log that documents the driver’s activities during a 24-hour period, including driving time, on-duty time, and off-duty time. It is used to keep track of the driver’s hours of service (HOS) and to ensure that they are not exceeding the maximum hours allowed.
Learn morePersonal conveyance
Personal conveyance refers to the use of a commercial motor vehicle for personal transportation. It is a term used to describe the movement of a truck driver from one place to another for non-work-related reasons. Personal conveyance is often used by truck drivers to move their vehicles from a loading facility to a nearby location, such as a hotel or rest area, for personal reasons.
Learn moreInternational fuel tax agreement (IFTA)
The International Fuel Tax Agreement, commonly referred to as IFTA, is a cooperative agreement between the lower 48 states in the United States and the Canadian provinces. This agreement was formed to simplify the reporting of fuel use by motor carriers that travel in multiple jurisdictions. The purpose of IFTA is to ensure that carriers report and pay the fuel taxes owed to each state or province based on the amount of fuel consumed in each jurisdiction.
Learn moreIFTA reporting
The International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) reporting is a requirement for all carriers operating commercial vehicles that travel across different jurisdictions in North America. It is an agreement between the United States and Canada, as well as ten other U.S. states and two Canadian provinces, that simplifies the reporting of fuel use by interstate carriers. The goal of the IFTA reporting is to ensure equitable distribution of fuel taxes between states and provinces.
Learn moreHazardous materials regulations (HMR)
The hazardous materials regulations (HMR) are a set of rules and guidelines established by the United States Department of Transportation (DOT) that govern the transportation of hazardous materials by trucking, air, rail, and vessel carriers. The HMR are designed to ensure the safe transportation of hazardous materials by providing regulations for packaging, labeling, and handling of these materials during transit.
Learn moreExempt carrier
An exempt carrier in the trucking industry refers to a carrier that is not subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. These regulations are put in place to ensure the safety of the public, drivers, and property, and apply to motor carriers and drivers engaged in interstate commerce. Exempt carriers are not required to follow these regulations because they do not engage in interstate commerce, or they transport commodities that are exempt from the regulations.
Learn moreElectronic On-board Recorder (EOBR)
The electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) is an electronic device that is installed in commercial trucks to track the hours of service (HOS) of drivers. This technology has been widely adopted by the trucking industry due to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) mandate for commercial drivers to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to maintain accurate records of their driving status.
Learn moreAsset Gateways
The Asset Gateway refers to a hardware device that provides comprehensive and real-time information about the location, status, and condition of fleet assets being managed. In essence, it is a digital tracking system that allows companies to monitor the movement of their trucks, cargo, and other assets in real time.
Learn moreELD violation
An ELD violation is a serious offense that can result in hefty fines and penalties. The ELD regulation was introduced to improve road safety by ensuring that drivers do not exceed the hours of service limit. The mandate requires commercial drivers to use an ELD to record their hours of service (HOS) electronically. An ELD is a device that is attached to a commercial vehicle’s engine and records driving time, engine hours, vehicle movement, and location.
Learn moreELD mandate
The ELD mandate is a regulation set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) that requires commercial motor carriers and truck drivers in the U.S. to use an electronic logging device to track and record their hours of service (HOS). The mandate seeks to improve road safety by reducing driver fatigue and ensuring that drivers comply with HOS regulations.
Learn moreELD driver app
An ELD driver app is an essential tool used in the trucking industry to track and manage a driver’s hours of service (HOS). Apps are designed to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate, which requires commercial motor vehicle drivers to track their HOS electronically.
Learn moreELD compliance
ELD compliance refers to the requirement for commercial motor vehicle drivers to use electronic logging devices (ELDs) to record their hours of service (HOS). The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) mandates the use of ELDs by commercial motor vehicle drivers required to keep records of duty status (RODS). The rules aim to improve safety by reducing the number of hours drivers spend on the road and preventing fatigue-related accidents.
Learn moreDuty status
Duty status refers to the classification of a commercial truck driver’s work status during a particular time period. This classification is essential in the trucking industry as it helps to regulate the number of hours a driver can operate a commercial vehicle. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) established rules that govern the maximum number of hours a commercial driver is allowed to drive within a given period. The duty status of a driver is therefore critical to ensure that the drivers maintain their safety and that of other road users while meeting their job demands.
Learn moreCSA score
The CSA score, or Compliance, Safety, and Accountability score, is a metric used in the trucking industry to assess the safety and compliance of individual carriers and drivers. It is a system used by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to monitor and track the safety performance of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) carriers and drivers operating on the nation’s highways.
Learn moreCompliance, safety, and accountability (CSA)
Compliance, Safety, and Accountability, also known as CSA, is a program implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the United States to ensure that commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers and their companies are operating safely and in compliance with federal regulations. This program was introduced in 2010 as part of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act and aims to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving CMVs.
Learn moreAutomatic on-board recording device (AOBRD)
The automatic on-board recording device (AOBRD) is a type of electronic logging device (ELD) that is used in the trucking industry. AOBRDs are designed to automatically record a driver’s hours of service (HOS) and other important data relating to the operation of a commercial motor vehicle.
