Read full descriptionHide full description
Core ELD 2.0 is an electronic logbook for commercial drivers. It replaces paper logs with automatic recording of driving hours, duty status, and vehicle data from the engine. Driving time is recorded automatically once the ELD device connects to the vehicle. The app tracks Hours of Service limits, shows remaining time on each clock, and alerts drivers before violations occur. Drivers can change duty status, review their records and make compliant edits when needed. DOT Inspection Mode presents Records of Duty Status in a clear format for officers, or allows drivers to transfer logs electronically. The app also includes DVIR reporting for daily vehicle inspections, as well as digital log certification.
