01 ABOUT ELD
As of December 18, 2017, carriers and drivers of
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) subject to the ELD
mandate are required to adopt electronic logging
devices (ELDs).
The ELD will automatically record a drivers on-duty
and off-duty time, allowing drivers to spend less time
preparing logs and more time doing what they do best:
driving.
The intended result is a decrease in the frequency of
fatigued driving by CMV drivers, reducing crashes,
injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses
on our highways.
Carriers who install automatic on-board recording
devices (AOBRDs) prior to December 18 will be able to
use those devices until December 16, 2019, after
which point they must upgrade or switch to ELDs.

02 FROTCOM ELD

Frotcom provides a
module integrated with
the ELD specifications
and demands.
The Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV)'s
engine is connected to a tablet running
our application to record data (location,
engine hours, miles, power status, motion
and vehicle identification data).

These data is used to comply with the
Hours of Service (HOS) rules, replacing
paper logbooks and Automatic On-board
Recording Device (AOBRD) systems.
The information is then synchronized
with Frotcom Web and is available to the
carrier fleet managements.
