Cheapest ELOG device

Looking down the road at the upcoming regulations what is the cheapest way to become compliant?

I don't run the truck every day some times it sits for weeks and then runs hard for a little while. I would prefer something I could own vs something with monthly fees or subscription services. It is just me and the one truck.

One option I saw was the VDO. It looks like it may fit the bill but wondering what other options there are.

 

Pretty good advice. I guess I was just kind of worried about their being a run on these devices. I mean how many tens of thousands of trucks are going to need these things when the law kicks in. It is going to be like trying to buy that special Christmas toy that is sold out everywhere. The vast majority of people are going to wait until the last possible second to get one. I don't want to be caught without one and be unable to run legally.

 

I have it and it works good but it doesn't meet the requirements. To satisfy the new mandate it must interface with the trucks ECM.

 

The law applies to everyone unless truck is 99 or older or those not required to log due to local exemptions. Doesn't matter if you have one truck or one thousand.
