About the ELD Mandate

Another key driver of growth for the telematics industry overall is the incoming electronic logbook requirements. This is a result of the U.S. FMCSA's (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) new rules aimed at improving the safety of commercial truck and bus drivers. The rule requires drivers to install and use electronic logging devices (moving away from paper records) to ensure the compliance with hours-of-service regulations. The new rule will go into effect in December 2017 and will be implemented in phases over the following two years. Canada is expected to follow with similar regulations. To enhance its offering in this area, Trakopolis purchased the electronic logbook software assets of Verigo in November 2016. Trakopolis is now able to offer its growing customer base a solution to address these regulations.
