    Your opinion doesn't a regulation make.
    But I'm done arguing with people that refuse to learn the regulations they work under.

    So anybody in NW Iowa buying a car in Sioux Falls SD should have an ELOG on the way home? You're wrong on this one.

    @ZVar and your OPINION is wrong...

    Why didn't you answer my question...?

    Is a 3500 pu a CMV or a POV.....??

    do you even know the definition of INTERSTATE COMMERCE...?

    This is my first truck so I don’t even own the ELD yet. I think the safest option is to just buy one when I get to Texas and use it so I don’t have any problems. I appreciate the help!

    OP'a first day here at TTR and first thread/posts. Probably wished he'd never asked now. Lol.
    @Jmdavis86 don't get discouraged about the site. Sometimes we get some good back and forth discussions where members will never agree.

    Hope we didn’t traumatize him. We’re a bunch of truck drivers. Anytime you put a crowd of them together it’s going to be a rowdy sandbox. That said, there’s way more good than bad around here in the way of vibe, information and people. You staff members do an amazing job of keeping a lid on the bad.

    Just run the temp the dealer gives you and you’ll be fine without one. It’s not a commercial vehicle when you’re just driving it home. For all they know it could wind up being a county plated farm truck when you get home. Now if you’ve already gotten a 45 day temp from your state and licensed it under your DOT number then that’s a different thing.

    When I picked up my old truck in 2019 out in Montana I had already gotten a temp out of South Dakota for it. I got called in at the Laurel MT scale and showed them the temp from the dealer. Had no problems and turned around and walked out.

    So I guess all those folks driving those big RV/Motor homes across the country had best get their ELD's in order!
