ELD Mandate Overview It is important to know that electronic logging devices (ELDs) do not fully automate driver logs, but are a tool to simplify the process of data collection for a drivers logs. For example, you still have to manually set your duty statuses to Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, and so on. You also have to manually certify your records. When the vehicles wheel speed exceeds five miles per hour, a duty status of Driving will be automatically recorded. If the vehicle is no longer in motion, the BIT ELD adapter 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. The BIT ELD adapter allows your vehicle to communicate with the Blue Ink Tech app over a wireless connection. To support compliance with the FMCSAs ELD mandate, it automates the collection of the following data items: When the BIT 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 changed to a non-moving status such as Off Duty, Sleeper Berth, or On Duty Not Driving. This is all part of the ELD mandate. The BIT ELD adapter does not store a drivers speed. 1. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 2. Odometer mileage 3. Engine hours 4. Engine on/off status 5. Vehicle in-motion status Your records are collected and stored on your smartphone or tablet with the Blue Ink Tech app. However, the BIT ELD adapter has internal memory to store events when not connected to the Blue Ink Tech app. These records will be associated with the Unidentified Driver account and will be visible to all drivers of that vehicle on the Home screen of the Blue Ink Tech app. These are the only data items from the vehicles database that are used to support compliance with the ELD mandate. The VIN is used to automatically associate your records with a specific vehicle. If you move your BIT ELD adapter to a different vehicle, it will automatically read the new V
