ACTIONS TO TAKE
A properly functioning and connected Xpress Technologies
ELD will always have a Red LED Light on and will
intermittently flash a Yellow LED Light every 3 seconds.
If the ELD displays or flashes any other color pattern for
more than 2 minutes, the device is malfunctioning.

What To Do in the Event of an ELD Malfunction
If you are a DRIVER:
Immediately contact Xpress Technologies Support at
[email protected] or (480) 646-3545.
Notify your fleet administrator as soon as possible.
Maintain a paper log until the ELD is either repaired or
replaced.
If you are stopped for a roadside inspection while your
device is malfunctioning, follow the instructions on
page 3 of this guide to display your logs within the
Xpress Technologies App and provide your paper logs as
supplemental material to a DOT officer.

If you are a FLEET ADMINISTRATOR or OWNER:
Immediately contact Xpress Technologies Support at
[email protected] or (480) 646-3545.
Any ELD malfunction must be corrected within 8 days of
discovery.

within 5 days of malfunction discovery.
