Small carriers and owner-operators continue to lag behind their larger counterparts in making the switch from automatic onboard recording devices (AOBRDs) to electronic logging devices (ELDs).
While AOBRDs and ELDs serve a similar function, there are several differences in both rules of operation and using the device itself.
Over 90 percent of small carriers that have not made the switch to electronic logging devices (ELDs) yet plan to stick with their old devices until the last quarter of 2019.

Brought to you by EROAD… FMCSA says no transition period, but carriers are waiting until the last minute.
The mandatory adoption of electronic logging devices (ELDs) has given decision-makers the ability to access a wealth of data they never knew they needed. The tough part is attempting to sift through and draw insights from that data.
The ELD Mandate and the AOBRD grandfather clause have raised a number of questions, most recently in our March webinar, “The State of the Industry and the ELD Mandate: The Verdict One Year Later.” To help answer some of these questions, we’re reconvening our experts and asking you to submit your burning questions.

ELDs are not just about tracking the hours of service of drivers. The data they gather can be used by fleets to improve driver behavior and operational efficiency, and by insurance companies to understand accident history for evaluating fleet risk profiles.
Flip a switch. Seems easy enough, but for those fleets that think that’s all they have to do with their ELD come December 16, 2019, they may quickly find their truck driver sitting idle, which is why now is the time to start the transition from a legacy AOBRD.
