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.
