Can a driver edit ELD logs?
Drivers can propose edits to their ELD logs but cannot modify certain automatically recorded data, such as driving time. Key points include:
- Editable Data: On-duty, off-duty, and sleeper berth statuses can be corrected if logged incorrectly.
- Approval Required: Motor carriers must approve driver-initiated edits to ensure compliance.
- Auditable Records: All edits, along with the original entries, are stored in the system for transparency during inspections or audits.
ELDs are designed to prevent falsification of logs while allowing reasonable adjustments for human error.
