I won't say what make/model, but you might want to see if this works with whatever you use. So my ELD tends to "flash out" pretty frequently. If it loses a signal from one of it's sources, it begins a reacquire process. This, annoyingly, takes several minutes (like when you want to take your :30 break PRECISELY at the top of the hour, and you spend 15 minutes trying to get it to accept the entry) So when I went Off Duty last night, I noticed that the ELD had me on line 4 for 20 minutes, because they hadn't synced in that time frame. Only line 3 is fixed, all other lines are editable.
I'm lost. Are you saying the exploit is the ability to edit any line but drive? That's standard on all/most eld's.
All lines except line 3 are editable.. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - ELD Rule Who can edit an electronic logging device (ELD) record? PreviousNext Both the driver and authorized carrier staff can make limited edits to an ELD record to correct mistakes or add missing information. All edits must include a note (annotation) to explain the reason for the edit. In addition, the driver must confirm (certify) that any carrier edit is accurate, and resubmit the records. If the driver chooses not to re-certify RODs, this is also reflected in the ELD record. The ELD must keep the original, unedited record, along with the edits. Example: a carrier edits a record to switch a period of time from “off-duty” to “on-duty not driving”, with a note that explains “Driver logged training time incorrectly as off-duty”. The edit and annotation are sent to the driver to verify. The edit is not accepted until the driver confirms it and resubmits the RODS. Can a user edit or change driving time that has been recorded by an electronic logging device (ELD) to non-driving time? PreviousNext No. An ELD automatically records all of the time that a CMV is in motion as driving time that cannot be edited or changed to non-driving time.
