When everything is working properly, monitoring your fleet operations is simple, but what happens when the ELD is unplugged? When a device is disconnected from a vehicle, the ELD Rider solution will notify you immediately. You can directly check the driver’s last known location and the vehicle’s status from the ELD Rider Dashboard.
ELD Rider provides all the important data, such as the exact time, location, and odometer readings when the ELD device was unplugged and reconnected. Our smart calculation system will calculate the total distance traveled during the period when the device was disconnected.
With ELD Rider you will have a comprehensive report of all ELD device disconnections for every vehicle in a single location. Choose the desired date range and access data about the total distance traveled while disconnected. The Unplugged Events report is valuable in the computation of IFTA fuel tax reports.
Monitoring ELD device connection is critical to avoid violations, which can result in fines,
out-of-service orders, and a drop in CSA scores. You can receive
immediate alerts when the driver reconnects the device with ELD Rider,
eliminating the risk of violations caused by unplugged ELDs.
Violations of the ELD mandate can lead to severe fines from the Department of Transportation. If the ELD is unplugged for any reason, it will be recorded, and the driver will be held accountable by the fleet manager, the company, or the DOT, resulting in termination, and potential fines. To avoid these consequences, instant alerts will notify the fleet and safety managers, who can take appropriate action.
