Introduction and Compliance
Starting from December 2019, drivers of all commercial motor vehicles are
obliged to stop logging their working time using the AOBRD and switch to the
ELD (Electronic Logging Device) to meet the FMCSA standards. In response to
these requirements, our team has developed the Pro-TracKing application 
the industrys most simple, flexible, and reliable drivers elog available.
It is designed to work in conjunction with the PT30 ELD device and fully
compliant with the current legislation including Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSR) for American drivers.
Pro-TracKing is used to track the drivers Hours of Service (HOS), duty
statuses, trip and truck data and transfer it to safety officials. The app has a
user-friendly interface to assist drivers in managing their on-duty time,
optimizing driving process, and preventing violations. Pro-TracKing provides
Canadian and American drivers with a specific ruleset for each country and can
be used by a single driver as well as a team of drivers.
Do not hesitate and start your journey with the Pro-TracKing ELD right now!

device has:

ELD Malfunctions and Data Diagnostic Events
To meet the FMCSA standards, each ELD supplier is obliged to track all
malfunctions and data diagnostics failures that may take place during the use
of their elog application or device.
All the users of the Pro-TracKing app can check any issues associated with
their truck, application, or elog device with the help of the M/D icon in the top
left corner. If there are no problems detected, the icon will stay green. If the
system faces any malfunctions, the M letter will turn red. If there are data
diagnostics failures, the D letter will turn red.
The FMCSA states a specific set of actions drivers and motor carriers should
take according to the 49 CFR  395.34 (ELD malfunctions and data diagnostic
events):
1. Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the
malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours.
2. Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period and the
previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty status on graph-grid
paper logs that comply with 395.8, unless the driver already possesses the
records or the records are retrievable from the ELD.
3. Continue to manually prepare a record of duty status in accordance with 
395.8 until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance with this
subpart.
Note: If you are facing malfunctions during the DOT inspection, please be ready
to provide the manually kept and filled RODS (records of duty status) to the
roadside inspector.
