AOBRD vs ELD

How are you liking the vdo?
I looked into these for my dad, who is older and doesn't really want anything complicated. Can read a email but won't learn how to send one type of person

 

So Aobr can still be ordered and installed even now?

 

Yes, until the deadline.

 

If I read it right, if its installed before Dec 16 2017 it is grandfathered in until 2019 you can use a aobr.
But what is really the difference between the two?

 

yes. I have ordered my ELD two weeks a go. it's a same device only app is working like AOBRD. VDO roadlog can be used as AOBRD too according to theirs website.

 

What are the differences in specs in the 1988 AOBRD Rule and the ELD rule?

 

Thanks Oscar!
So from reading that just about anything newer then the old tachograph is good as long as it plugs in and asks about unassigned drive time. No wonder its such a cluster smh

 

Whatever you end up getting, just make sure that it is on the FMCSA's list as a compliant device. Which is a joke, because these companies self certify themselves to be on the list. I would also dig into the device and the requirements from the FMCSA to make sure it is up to par. The FMCSA as far as I know is not checking to ensure that these self certifications are valid.

 

Here is new news ELD out-of-service enforcement to begin in April, citations and fines begin on Dec. 18 deadline

 

Gotta have login info for that site.
