How do ELDs ensure accuracy compared to paper logs?
ELDs provide greater accuracy through:
- Engine Synchronization: Automatically records driving time, engine hours, and movement.
- GPS Integration: Tracks precise location data, minimizing manual errors.
- Tamper Resistance: Prevents unauthorized changes to recorded data.
- Automated Calculations: Eliminates errors in calculating driving and rest periods.
- Real-Time Alerts: Warns drivers of potential HOS violations before they occur.
This automation significantly reduces the likelihood of mistakes compared to paper-based systems.
