Hours-of-service (HOS) rules can be complicated! As new rules are constantly being added and old rules are changed, keeping up-to-date on which rules apply to you can be a full-time job! We recently hosted a webinar to help you better understand the rules and how they impact your impact the day-to-day operations.
With the introduction of electronic logging devices (ELDs), the way you record and present your hours-of-service (HOS) information has changed! Watch this webinar recap to learn about these differences, as well as some proposed changes to the HOS rules and regulations that have come as a result of the ELD mandate.

In December, the FMCSA announced they were considering updating personal conveyance guidance in light of concerns stemming from the electronic logging device (ELD) mandate. The original guidance was published in 1997 and has not been updated since. Following the announcement, the FMCSA opened a 30-day comment period that has since been extended to February 20, 2018.
There is a lot of ground to cover when it comes to HOS rules. Owner-Operators in particular have a lot of questions about what they need to know; What are the rules? Who do they apply to? Why were they put in place? We answered these questions, and more in this week’s webinar. Watch the recording to find out what you need to know about hours-of-service rules.

Whether you love them or loathe them, electronic logging devices (ELDs) are here to stay. In fact, as of June 12, 2021, all fleets in Canada and the U.S. should now have officially switched from AOBRDs to ELDs.
ELDs automatically record your drivers’ Hours of Service (HOS) and store reports and driver certifications—which should help fleets stay compliant and save time on paperwork.
To help you navigate the pitfalls, stay compliant, and get the most out of this trucking technology, we’ve created a guide to the best ELD practices for successful fleet management.
