Do ELDs support personal conveyance and yard moves?

Yes, ELDs support personal conveyance and yard moves, both of which are specific driving categories under HOS rules:

  • Personal Conveyance: Allows drivers to use their vehicle for personal reasons, such as traveling to a hotel or home. During this time, ELDs record the movement as off-duty and within a 10-mile radius for location accuracy.
  • Yard Moves: Allows drivers to operate a vehicle on private property or within a terminal without affecting driving hours. This is logged as on-duty, not driving.

Drivers must manually select these modes in their ELD system to ensure accurate records.
