Quick overview
- ELD = electronic logging device that replaces paper logbooks and automatically tracks a driver’s hours of service (HOS).
- Required by the FMCSA to reduce driver fatigue and prevent violations.
- Unity ELD is a reliable, easy-to-use solution that fully complies with FMCSA rules and adapts to the real needs of modern fleets.
Why it matters
Imagine this: your driver is pulled over by an inspector. They ask to see the logs. There’s no signal. The system won’t respond. Within minutes — fines and delays.
This happens every day.
Unity ELD helps you avoid situations like that.
What is an ELD and why is it needed?
An ELD (electronic logging device) is a digital system that tracks a driver’s working hours and duty status. It connects to the engine and replaces handwritten logbooks.
An ELD is required by the FMCSA for most commercial drivers. It:
- Detects truck movement
- Tracks duty statuses (driving, rest, etc.)
- Records location and mileage
- Helps drivers comply with hours of service (HOS) regulations
