DOT Roadside Inspections & Operational Checklist

During a roadside inspection, drivers need access to required logs, instructions, and supporting information. DriverLog includes an officer-view workflow and supports the data-transfer methods listed for the registered solution on the FMCSA ELD registry.

Fleets should train drivers on the documents, instructions, and supporting information required for their operation. Requirements can vary, so current FMCSA guidance and company policy should be reviewed before deployment:

1
ELD User Manual Official operational guide explaining in-cab display functions.
2
Data Transfer Sheet Step-by-step instructions for Web Services, USB, & Bluetooth transfers.
3
Malfunction Reporting Guide Protocol detailing actions if hardware encounters technical issues.
4
Blank Form MCS-79 Logs At least an 8-day supply of paper logs for fallback emergencies.

Federal Hours of Service (HOS) Rule Set

Automated tracking of the four core FMCSA HOS regulatory constraints.

11-Hour Driving Limit

Drivers may drive a maximum of 11 cumulative hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty. Once the 11-hour limit is reached, driving is automatically flagged to prevent unsafe operation.

14-Hour On-Duty Window

Establishes a strict 14-hour consecutive shift window once work begins. Driving cannot resume past 14 hours until a full 10-consecutive-hour rest break is logged.

30-Minute Mandatory Rest Break

Requires a continuous 30-minute off-duty break after 8 cumulative hours of driving time. The in-cab tablet delivers voice and visual alerts prior to the 8-hour threshold.

Cumulative 60/70-Hour Weekly Limits

Monitors cumulative limits of 60 hours in 7 days or 70 hours in 8 days. Automatically calculates 34-hour restart cycles for efficient fleet dispatch planning.

Total Telematics Solution

Connect ELD Records with Fleet Operations

Combine DriverLog workflows with compatible GPS tracking, vehicle data, inspections, and reporting so compliance and operations teams can work from a more complete record.

Automated IFTA Fuel Tax Reports

Eliminate manual trip sheets. Automatically track jurisdiction mileage, toll vs. non-toll distances, and fuel receipts with automated end-of-quarter email reports.

Offline Solid-State Caching

BlueLink hardware stores all engine telemetry and geofences on local solid-state flash storage when driving through zero-cellular coverage zones, syncing automatically upon reconnection.

Unassigned Driving Reconciliation

Prevent audit citations for unassigned vehicle movement. Dispatchers can review, reconcile, and assign unrecorded driving events via a secure cryptographic audit trail.

ELD Knowledge Base

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Everything you need to know about the FMCSA ELD Mandate, device installation, exemptions, and compliance.

The ELD HOS mandate (or ELD Final Rule) is a U.S. federal regulation specifying that commercial motor vehicle operators required to maintain Records of Duty Status (RODS) must use FMCSA-certified Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). The hardware synchronizes with the vehicle engine to automatically record driving time, engine hours, movement, and location.

ELD devices automatically record the following data points to maintain compliant Records of Duty Status (RODS):

  • Date and time
  • Geographic location (GPS coordinates)
  • Engine hours & vehicle miles
  • Driver identification & user authentication
  • Vehicle identification & motor carrier details

The mandate applies to interstate commercial motor vehicle operations required to keep hours of service records (previously using paper logbooks). This includes:

  • Vehicles weighing over 10,001 pounds
  • Vehicles transporting placarded hazardous materials
  • Vehicles carrying more than 8 or 15 passengers (depending on class)

Exemptions include:

  • Short-haul drivers operating within a 100-air-mile radius using timecards
  • Non-CDL freight drivers operating within a 150-air-mile radius
  • Drive-away and tow-away transport operators
  • Vehicles manufactured with engines model year 2000 or older

No. Drivers who operate under the Short-Haul exception (within 100 air miles for CDL drivers or 150 air miles for non-CDL drivers) and return to their work report location daily are exempt from using ELDs and can maintain daily timecards.

No. Installation is plug-and-play and requires no tools or custom wiring. The BlueLink hardware plugs directly into your truck's diagnostic port (OBD-II for light duty or 9-pin/6-pin Deutsch J1939 for heavy duty). Once plugged in, the hardware pairs via Bluetooth LE to the driver's mobile app.

In the United States, providers self-certify ELD solutions and register them with FMCSA. DriverLog configurations using BlueLink or Piccolo Plus are currently shown on FMCSA’s registered-device list. Fleets should verify the exact device, software version, and current listing before deployment. Canadian use requires a separately active third-party certification on Transport Canada’s list and should be confirmed for the proposed configuration.

Yes. DriverLog ELD automatically generates comprehensive IFTA reports including total state distance, toll road breakdowns, and fuel purchases. Reports can be scheduled to automatically arrive in your email inbox at the end of every quarter.
