What is a “Driver’s Daily Log” & Electronic Logging Device (ELD)? Tracking a driver’s Hours of Service limits is usually captured by an electronic logging device (ELD), but it can also be done in written form if a driver’s time is not required to be recorded electronically. Most motor carriers & drivers who are required to maintain RODS under § 395.8(a) need to use an ELD to record their HOS.
