ELD causes truck to turn off?

HELLO: a driver told a journalist that “My ELD was acting up, so Omnitracs rebooted it 5 times. I was going 60 mph on a two lane road, and when the ELD shut down, so did my engine, 5 times”, which creates an unreasonable safety risk. Hacking trucks: Cybersecurity and the ELD mandate.

 

Already the signs of the ELD malfunctioning are being written about by drivers in ……….online blogs: Below is a brief Blog exchange already noting the ELD ……….malfunctioning.

Bob posted this: I think my ELD is smoking crack. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Jim- every morning

Ace- ours is fine, but we did get a message to say don’t call they know there is a problem ..and will have it fixed as quickly as possible. May the Force be with us.

Sue- Mine was flashing all kinds of crazy crap late this afternoon.

Renny- Mine had a large fit because I didn’t take my 30 minute break.

Tom- Mine doesn’t like me, but then again, I don’t like it either!!!!

Rocky- Mine says I have 70 hours to run, even tho I started working at 7 am.

Mary- Mine says the same thing.

Erv- Hmm, my paper logs never refused to let me write on them, except when my ….pencil broke. lol

 

We are using Verizon Connect and since installed the stop engine light came on.

 

That is messed up. The eld doesnt need to record that much data or have any control. It should read ecm for all the information it needs and nothing more than that
