    My boss told me they is a grace period. When is the last day a new truck can go without ELD.

    Some brokers (jbhunt) require ELD regardless of vehicle age

    Also, some employers now see the benefit of "ELD" to track hourly pay + vehicle tracking. U come to work, log-in into ELD, thus track hours i.e. Keep Trucking

    If I get a driver for my truck, I'll go to ELD

    my understanding is they won't be "actively" enforcing the mandate for 6 months after implementation. That would be June '18.....but are you willing to test that ? lol

    They will be actively enforcing the eld rule starting Dec 18. What they are postponing is simply putting trucks oos for lack of eld. Will still get a fine though. And the date is actually April.

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

    Some of these posts I'm reading just shows me how much some of you enjoy an ELD-

    If the government told you to Jump, Would you say "How high?"

    Aint your faults though.........Some of you were raised to follow and never lead by example
