To help smooth inspections, Omnitracs and EROAD help update guidelines on ELDs records transfers
Summary
Although they compete in the fleet telematics and ELD market, Omnitracs and EROAD have been working on a joint project with the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) to revamp the guidelines for hours of service inspections. The companies announced their efforts have resulted in an updated CVSA’s Inspection Bulletin on U.S. Electronic Logging Devices, which was originally penned in 2017 concurrent with the implementation of the ELD Mandate. The confusion often results in fleets spending additional time and resources to submit DataQs to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to overturn invalid or incorrect violations. For instance, officers may need to review odometer jumps, missing vehicle identification numbers, and miles driven, in addition to clarifying ELD exemptions. “There are cases where – for no fault of the driver, carrier or the inspector – the ELD data transferred to eRODS does not show the complete picture,” said Soona Lee, director of regulatory compliance at EROAD.
