Not only did the financial penalties for HOS violations rise at the end of 2024, but so did the number of potential violations. Omnitracs ELDs (Electronic Logging Devices) can protect fleets and drivers from the growing cost of fines and other penalties, including having drivers and vehicles taken out of service.
ELDs are not optional
Regulations require that fleet vehicles be equipped with Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) to ensure that drivers maintain compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) rules, with severe penalties for non-compliance. For a complete record, Omnitracs ELDs automatically capture data on vehicle movements and location, miles driven, and the time and duration of engine operation or engine hours.
Always ready for roadside inspections
Drivers may be surprised by a roadside inspection, but with an Omnitracs ELD, they are never unprepared. The driver can quickly and easily document their identity and compliance with HOS regulations anytime law enforcement personnel decide to inspect the driver’s record.
Omnitracs ELDs make compliance easy
With on-the-go log viewing, driver annotations, and near-instant log saving for up-to-the-minute visibility, Omnitracs makes it easy for your drivers to know their hours of service status. They can relax, focus on the road, and still drive up to their legal limit, but not a minute beyond.
Add-ons that take off the pressure
With add-ons like Omnitracs’ HoursGo mobile app, drivers can check their electronic logbooks and clock in and out remotely. When drivers know they can easily prove their record meets regulations, the pressure is off, and it’s all about the road.
Superior technology with flexible options
Security, reliability, and simplicity are built into all Omnitracs’ ELD hardware. You can mix and match these simple, durable, all-in-one devices to meet the needs of each business unit.
Omnitracs support, anytime and anywhere
It’s not just our ELD technology that sets us apart. When drivers need compliance questions answered on the go, Omnitracs’ 24/7 Driver Hotline and dedicated team of experts on HOS regulations can assist with roadside inspections and audits.
ELD devices must be selected from a list of registered devices with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for the U.S. or Transport Canada for Canada. Many of our devices are certified and approved for use in the U.S. and Canada. We maintain a business relationship with the authorities that is based on earned respect through our transparency and support. We understand that these relations are important to ensure compliance and limit any disruptions to our customers.
