Should I get an eld?

Well welcome to 2020, the new age of man-bun truckers where eld and insurance run the industry. I have omnitraxs and you can get by with some stuff but not much. If you want to run paper buy a glider truck.

 

the ELD neutering the truck when over hrs is set up by the truck owner/company.

some companies don't do that.

if it's your truck why would set it up that way.

might want to research what exactly is involved with running an ELD.

 

I thought dot set the hours. And the company abides by the hours.

 

If you need it to be legal buy a simple device such as the Blue Ink Tech ELD. There are no subscription fees and it just records the basic info.

 

yes, the DOT sets the hrs.

the companies set the ELD to alert company, derate or shoot driver for 1 second over.

 

It does with my uncle running 02 classic. Refuses to put one in. Even has a few recent clean Ny inspections lol
