Tried one today it showed my route start time and when I fueled and when I stopped. Isn’t that all dot wants. I just plugged it into the USB port on the printer and I have a page to give them. It shows what the logbook shows. It was 80.00 no fees for ever I opted for the warranty. Anyone else use this. I showed I stopped for 1hr15 minutes for fuel and lunch

If it doesn't in someway hook to the truck's ECM it's probably not acceptable. The biggest thing is to check if it is on the list.

An ELD synchronizes with a vehicle engine to automatically record driving time, for easier, more accurate hours of service (HOS) recording. https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/electronic-logging-devices

Hi Greg, talk about steering wheel holders, especially foriegn newbees who will work for cheap, because it is big money considering where there were from originally, are you awarie of the fact that the FMSCA does not have any special requirements for the amount of time behind the wheel at these drivers schools? Big carriers only want bodies to fill the seats of their trucks, so that the freight can move. Scary times.

" You come up to ND and you ask the oilfield drivers how long have you had your cdl over half will tell you 6 months or less. 4 years when the boom was big most didn’t have a license but drove because the employer said it has a automatic just like a car. Then frieghtliner sales doubled. Most of the newbies got the permit and learned on their own the ragheads is a whole different thing
