Trucking with ELDs

Many larger carriers already require their drivers to use electronic logging devices (ELD), but for smaller carriers that make up the majority of the industry – by many estimates as many as 97% of all trucking companies have fewer than 20 trucks, and 90% have 6 or fewer – the implementation of ELDs and their associated cost could be a game-changer. This infographic highlights some of the key facts around ELDs, their impact on operations, and potential solutions to mitigate those impacts.
