An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) digitally tracks driving time for safety and compliance in commercial trucking.
Last Updated 3/11/24
An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is a digital tool used in commercial trucking to automatically record driving time and ensure compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. It connects to the truck's engine, tracking motion, engine hours, miles, and location. ELDs help enforce safe driving hours, reduce manual record-keeping, and provide data for fleet management and regulatory inspections. They are essential for monitoring driver activity and improving road safety by preventing fatigue-related incidents.
To satisfy our telemetry data-sharing requirement for Auto Liability coverage, Cover Whale policyholders can connect an existing ELD or install a Cover Whale-supplied dual-facing dashcam. During the application process, agents are presented with the choice between the ELD an dashcam options. See how in this demo video.
