I bought a new Peterbilt and I’m picking it up in Texas and I need to drive it back to Ny. Do I need to install an ELD before I make the trip back home?

No. Use a paper log book. I assume you are not hauling a load.
Siinman Thanks this. -

Legally yes. There are no exemptions for moving a vehicle just because you haven't gotten around to installing an ELD yet.
Practically you will likely be fine with paper, but there is always that one officer... -
What ELD system do you have?
I recently did the same thing but we use KeepTruckin
They just put me on manual which allowed me to enter all the info in the app like a paper log and I just put a piece of paper in the window that had the numbers on it. Company. And Not For Hire
Rolled through a few scales and once they seen that they hit the green lightSiinman Thanks this. -

What do you have it registered as if at all? Unregistered they don't know it's not to pull a racecar trailer, expensive hobby but still a hobby, I wouldn't even worry about a logbook at all. Until registered as a CMV it isn't one and not subject to those laws.
-
And there is no where in the regs that state ELD only goes into effect once plated... -
Rubber duck kw Thanks this.

All CMV's are required to have a eld.. unless it's older (older mechanical engine)
BUT until it REGISTERED AS A CMV it's NOT A CMV...Siinman and Rubber duck kw Thank this.
