    Just ask them to swap you to a distance setting rather than speed...

    That's the standard for elds. Only aorbds can be set to higher speeds per the FMCSA regs. It sucks.

    That's it now. No distance threshold allowed, switching the key off can't pull you on duty.

    Yeah the distance thing is not an option its 5 mph and youre are on drive .. ... Wish it was that easy to fix just tell them to change it .. Guessing I am just going to have to deal with it .. Wondered if it was all companies at some point ?
