How can small fleets ensure a smooth ELD implementation?

Small fleets face unique challenges in adopting ELDs, but these strategies can help:

• Select Affordable ELDs: Look for budget-friendly options that meet FMCSA requirements and offer essential features.

• Train Your Drivers: Conduct hands-on training sessions to familiarize drivers with the system.

• Leverage Vendor Support: Choose an ELD provider with excellent customer service and onboarding assistance.

• Start Early: Begin the implementation process well before deadlines to allow time for adjustments.

• Monitor Performance: Use ELD data to identify inefficiencies and make informed decisions about operations.

A gradual, well-supported rollout ensures compliance and minimizes resistance from drivers.
