motor carriers and drivers must transition to
ELDs by Dec. 17, 2017.
Those that were using automatic onboard
recording devices prior to Dec. 18, 2017,
may continue using AOBRDs through Dec.
16, 2019. Suppliers of ELDs must conform

Fleets already equipped with electronic
logging technology will have until
December 2019 to ensure compliance with
the published specifications.
Many fleets already are seeing the benefits
of ELDs.
