ELD Mandate Overview
It is important to know that ELDs do not fully automate driver logs. For example, drivers still have to
manually set their duty statuses to Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, and so on. They also have to manually
certify their records. The ELD is a tool to simplify the process of data collection for a drivers logs.
The Pro star connector allows your vehicle to communicate with the Pro star app over a wireless
connection. To support compliance with the FMCSAs ELD mandate, it automates the collection of the
following data items:
1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) - it is used to automatically associate your records with a
specific vehicle. If you move your PSELD1 to a different vehicle, it will automatically read the
new VIN and use the new VIN in your logs.
2. Odometer mileage - it is used to automatically fill-in fields in your driver logs.
3. Engine hours - it is used to automatically fill-in fields in your driver logs.
4. Engine on/off status - it is used as triggers to automatically record events. A record will be
automatically added to the ELDs logs when the engine is turned on or turned off.
5. Vehicle in-motion status - it is used as triggers to automatically record events. A record will be
automatically added to the ELDs logs when the engine is turned on or turned off. When the
vehicles wheel speed exceeds 5mph, a duty status of Driving will be automatically
recorded. If the vehicle is no longer in motion, the
ELD will automatically record a duty status change to On Duty Not Driving after 6 minutes if
the driver does not manually change their duty status. When the ELD adapter detects that
the vehicle is in motion, the time must be recorded as either driving, personal use of the
commercial vehicle, or a yard move. The time when the vehicle is in motion cannot be
shortened or reassigned to a status of Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, or On Duty Not Driving
6. Location - it is used to automatically fill-in fields in your driver logs
Your records are collected and stored in a database on your smartphone or tablet with the Pro star
app. However, the Pro Star (model: GDELD1000) has internal memory to store events when not
connected to the Pro star app. These records will be associated with the Unidentified Driver account
and will be visible to all drivers of that vehicle on the main page of the Pro star app.
