    The requirement is 5mph. If yours is tripping with any movement at all then that is how your company has it set up.

    No, it's not.
    From fmcsa's website
    eCFR — Code of Federal Regulations
    Appendix 4.3.1.2
    (3) An ELD's set speed threshold for determination of the in-motion state for the purpose of this section must not be configurable to greater than 5 miles per hour.

    It can be configured to a max if 5MPH. If your company is not, they are lying to you.

    You're allowed to use personal conveyance for a few things these days you can also have a fully loaded trailer while using it.

    I wouldn't call it outright cheating. If you're putt-putting around you're not advancing a load. It is probably a little bit of rule bending. The DOT isn't stupid. They know truckers are doing this. Unless a driver is a complete prick to them they will probably overlook that
