    You absolutely need an ELD if the truck you are driving classifies as a commercial vehicle (26,000 lb GVWR or higher) and you drive further than 100 miles away from your home terminal or over state lines (there are short-haul exemptions) and does not fall under the 1999 engine year exemption. You either need to tell them it's the law and you refuse to drive until one is installed, or run away very quickly.

    It's not for you to worry run it. Maybe the state's you run are not looking to enforce eld. And until April nobody is enforcing ELD. So run paper.

    The exemption is only for oos. One can still get a ticket for no eld.
    That being said, do you log at all? Or do you run under the timecard exemption?

    If you run under the timecard exemption you don't need one....
