    "As FMCSA explained the rule, the 2012 MAP-21 highway bill that laid out a path for FMCSA pursual of the ELD mandate rule “requires that the Agency impose the ELD mandate on drivers who prepare handwritten RODS [record of duty status] …”
    ELD mandate: What about trucks plated below 26,000 lbs.?

    So basically it means if you have to do a paper log now, you will have to run an ELD . If you are exempt from logging, either the truck isn't heavy enough or local, you do not.

    I've been using Big Road a regular log on my phone for over a year and in 1/2018 upgrade to the ELD. To date, no complaints. Its a really easy system.
