A guide to electronic logging device rules for US commercial drivers. An electronic logging device records a driver's working and driving hours for hours-of-service compliance.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check device registration, paper-log exceptions, required records, driver data transfers, and the steps to take when an electronic logging device stops working.
Why use it?
It helps carriers determine who needs an approved device, understand exemptions, and handle malfunctions, edits, records, and inspections correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

eld-mandate-compliance scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ELD Mandate Compliance — 49 CFR 395.20-38

The ELD Final Rule became effective Dec 18, 2017 for new ELDs and Dec 16, 2019 for AOBRD-using fleets to fully transition. As of 2026, virtually all interstate CMV drivers must use a registered ELD.

Who must use an ELD

Drivers must use a registered ELD if all of:

  • Required to maintain a record of duty status (RODS) under 49 CFR 395, AND
  • Operating an interstate CMV requiring a CDL.

Exemptions from the ELD rule

A driver does NOT have to use an ELD if:

  • Short-haul (49 CFR 395.1(e)(1) or (e)(2)) — operates within 150 air-mile radius, returns to work-reporting location within 14 hours, etc.
  • 8-day exception — uses paper logs for 8 or fewer days in any 30-day period.
  • Driveaway-towaway — vehicle is the commodity being delivered.
  • Pre-2000 engine — operating a CMV manufactured before model year 2000 (engine model year governs).

ELD registration

ELDs must be on the FMCSA's Registered ELDs list at eld.fmcsa.dot.gov. Manufacturers self-certify; FMCSA accepts the self-certification but reserves right to revoke. Some ELDs have been revoked — always verify your ELD is currently listed.

Malfunction handling (49 CFR 395.34)

If an ELD malfunctions, the driver must:

  1. Note the malfunction on the log
  2. Reconstruct previous 7 days on paper if not already recorded
  3. Continue manual paper logs until the ELD is repaired
  4. Carrier has 8 days from notification to repair/replace OR
  5. Submit a malfunction notice to FMCSA requesting an extension

If a driver experiences a malfunction during a roadside inspection, they should display the device + show paper logs covering the relevant period.

ELD data file (eRODS)

When inspected at roadside, the driver transfers the ELD data to the inspector via:

  • Web service — driver enters inspector's email
  • USB drive — physical handoff
  • Bluetooth — wireless transmission

The ELD must support at least one method. Some ELDs support both; FMCSA's eRODS app reads either format.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
