    • ***Without your ELD YOU CANNOT DRIVE!***

    ELD:


    As you train, you will be provided your own login into the Motive application that will be for you to use as a driver.
    What is an ELD:



  • An electronic logging device (ELD) is a device or technology that automatically records a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers driving time and aids in the accurate recording of the drivers hours of service, replacing the need for paper records of duty status (logs).

  • Unlike logging software that may run on a standalone laptop, smartphone, or tablet, an ELD system has a tethered component, meaning a device — sometimes called a “black box” — attached to the vehicles electronic control module (ECM) to automatically gather engine-use data.

  • The overall system may include a smartphone or tablet that receives data from the black box, displays it for enforcement (via digital display or printout), and forwards it to the motor carrier for auditing and storage. The ELD must also be capable of transmitting log data electronically to an enforcement official for auditing purposes.



    • ***Unplugging the device does show up on your ELD. Unplugging

      the device is against DOT compliance laws and can result in fees

      and loss of CDL according to compliance.***

      Driver Disqualification:



      Drivers under company policy understand that training is unpaid. Termination or vacating the position before or after training will result in 100% non-payment. You are required to give 2 weeks notice prior to vacating (leaving) your position.




        ***Warning: Drivers who abandon a truck/trailer will result in the

            driver paying recovery fees.The record will also be reported via

              DAC Report:


            • DAC reports are basically detailed accounting of the time spent by a truck driver making deliveries. The DAC report provides information on the period of service, equipment operated, loads hauled, driver status and experience, reason for leaving, rehire eligibility, number of accidents with accident detail, drug and alcohol histories including pre-employment test results, and truck driving school performance records.
