    I thought I remembered the rule being only 48 hrs to get an elog repaired (which I thought was just beyond stupid) but I googled & its 8 days. You can not drive for more than 8 days on paper.

    What must a driver do if there is an ELD malfunction?
    Continue to manually prepare RODS in accordance with 49 CFR 395.8 until the ELD is serviced and back in compliance. The recording of the driver’s hours of service on a paper log cannot continue for more than 8 days after the malfunction; a driver that continues to record his or her hours of service on a paper log beyond 8 days risk being placed out of service.

    While true, a driver only needs last 8 days of logs, there is no way for a roadside or coop to be able to determine how long the eld has actually been broken.
    The driver can simply say it broke 8 days ago ..

    You are also supposed to notify you company of the malfunction in writing, iirc.

    I am not an ELD lover at all but I can see without much effort that the first immense oversight they made was their allowing free market for ELD devices. They don't have the slightest clue what the magnitude of e-log falsifying is because many providers developed "sloppy" ELDs - some perhaps intentionally. This mandate ought to require a very high level of licensing for ELD providers. For this thing to be enforceable and manageable, there should be at the most 3 or 4 providers and that's it.. On the other hand, I'd hate to see the likes of Keep Truckin to thrive even more.

    I think this will end up where only the strong survive. In the end, there's going to be 3 or 4 just like you said & companies will choose from those. I look forward to it. The small company I work for went the cheapest route & got a Garmin adapter & use it with my phone. This is a cheap system that does work but it stops occasionally due to loosing blue tooth connection. Sometimes If I leave the truck to go in to get my fuel ticket etc, when I come back out, I have to restart my phone or remove & re-insert the adapter for it to connect. While it is compliant, its cheaply designed & is not easy to edit errors, if the ability exists at all. Its just lacking in my opinion.
    So, I'll be glad when all the junk is weeded out & the better devices are all that's left.

    go to the FMCSA site, there is a form you can download and print. or just google ELD exemption form. can be used with any exemption including the broken ELD exemption. just need a copy of your last 8 days, as always.

    Drivers are also required to maintain an ELD malfunction instruction sheet. Failure to have one may result in the driver accumulating 1 point upon inspection.
