How HOS247 ELD Logs Can Help Take Your Business To The Next Level

If you manage a fleet or are an owner-operator, then you need to have ELD logs. An ELD (Electronic Logging Device) is mandatory for any commercial truck in the United States territory. But as a truck driver, what happens when your electronic driver logs aren’t working correctly? You might get stuck and be unable to complete trips, which affects both your cash and business flows. Or as a fleet manager, what happens when you run into complicated compliance issues, which can result in hefty fines? You might also miss important areas of opportunity to improve your fleet operations. Or you might even overlook important fleet management tasks, such as providing timely maintenance to your fleet. 

In the end, whether you’re a truck driver or a fleet manager, you may end up losing valuable resources, including time and money. We understand these pain points, which is why we believe our  ELD solution  can help take your business to the next level.

What Exactly Are ELD Logs?

As a quick reminder (or in case you’re new to the commercial trucking business), an ELD is an electronic logging device that automatically HOS (Hours of Service) and driving time records for Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs). But, who needs ELD logs? The answer is simple: truck drivers, owner-operators, fleet managers, or any other business involved in logistics and transportation. This is because electronic logbooks capture all sorts of information, from the data on the vehicle’s engine, the miles driven, the movement and the stops.

An ELD solution can help fleet managers stay updated about their drivers’ status with real-time visibility, real-time support, as well as helping stay on top of their fleet’s planning, inspections processes, and legal compliance.

HOS247 ELD components

An ELD logbook service is what allows your trucks to run their routes in a legal fashion. Most CMVs are required to keep their records of duty status (RODS) by means of an electronic logging device. This particular rule affects various types of drivers across the United States, including commercial trucks drivers, commercial bus drivers, and owner-operators. It’s also a tool that provides extremely relevant information regarding your truck fleet. For example, an ELD can help you keep track of:

  • HOS (Hours of Service) Compliance 
  • Your fleet’s location with real-time GPS (which improves visibility and planning)
  • Your mileage state calculations (which save time, prevent human errors, and can help you stay on top of your IFTA (International Fuel Tax Agreement) tax)
  • DVIR (Driver Vehicle Inspection Report) for maintenance purposes
  • Real-time data that can be used to increase fleet operations efficiency
  • Vehicle diagnostics, which help provide fault code detection and notifications in real time

An ELD is composed of both hardware and software, which include a vehicle tracking device that’s connected to the CMV, a fleet management software, and a mobile app. All of these components work together to provide a better picture of your fleet’s status and allow you to find problem areas that need to be fixed, or areas of opportunity that you can take advantage of. Also, when choosing an ELD provider, make sure their system supports different HOS exemptions.

How HOS247 ELD Driver Logs Can Help Take Your Business To The Next Level

You already know all the different ways in which an ELD can help your business. From reducing costs and helping you stay on top of compliance to even allowing you enough time to provide maintenance to your fleet. The benefits are clear for everyone to see. But what isn’t always clear is the reliability of your current ELD logs solution. You obviously don’t want to risk a standstill fleet due to lack of proper functionality. And you might even be looking for top-notch customer support so that you get the attention you need, whenever you need it. If this is the case for you, then you need to switch your ELD provider.

We work hard everyday to bring an  ELD solution that is effective, efficient, and reliable for all of the parties involved, and through the years we’ve managed to become one of the top-rated ELD logbooks in the industry. 

Reliable Hardware

We provide the most reliable hardware for your electronic logging device. Our main focus for any ELD solution has always been dependability, so we’ve worked to make our ELD solution an easy-to-install, hassle-free process. This way, you’ll never struggle to learn how to use ELD logs. HOS247 ELD hardware was strategically designed to be sound and dependable for every single commercial truck vehicle in your fleet. That way, you don’t have to worry about hardware breaking down mid-drive. And if something were to happen, you will always count with high-quality support.

No Hidden Costs

We’ve all been there. You hire a service thinking the price you see upfront is what you will be charged. But when the bill for an electronic logging device finally arrives, surprise! You might be getting charged for a lot more than what you signed up for originally. This is why at HOS247, we don’t have any hidden costs. Our costs are shown upfront, and we don’t care whether you have 1 or 500 vehicles. Our pricing plans are flexible so that you can scale your ELD solution as you grow.

High-End Support

If any of your trucks’ ELD gets stuck mid-drive, then getting in touch with customer service should not be a struggle. Sadly, for most electronic logbook solutions, it often always is. At HOS247, we work hard to provide amazing customer service whenever you may need it. This is because your commercial trucking fleet probably works around the clock, which means that your ELD service should do the same. If one of your truck drivers gets stuck in the middle of a drive, our high-end customer support team will be available to help them move forward. Other companies, meanwhile, offer limited customer support, which can hinder the on-the-road assistance you may need should the need arise. Honestly, this dedication and reliability are what makes us the best option in the ELD market. 

No Long-Term Contracts

We’re aware that you may want to try a solution before committing to it. This is why with HOS247 you will be able to try our ELD solution for two weeks. If you find that we’re not the right solution for you, you will be able to have two-week returns, free of any hassle. We also don’t work with long-term contracts you need to commit to. Flexibility and adaptability are key for any business, which is why we believe our ELD solution can help you meet your management goals by adjusting to your needs.
