Half of Truckers with Class 3-7 Vehicles are Driving without ELDS 

April 1, 2018 marks the hard deadline for the FMCSA ELD mandate. After April 1st, drivers without ELDs installed in their vehicles will be placed out of service and receive points recorded against them on their CSA score. If left unable to legally drive, you run the risk of losing money, or worse, losing your job.

Truck Classification: Class 3-7 Vehicles

While the majority of people automatically think of semi-trucks and 18-wheelers when they hear truck driving, almost any truck can be used for commercial driving. In the United States, trucks are classified by light, medium, or heavy and classes range from 1 to 8. Class 3 vehicles are considered light vehicles and include trucks like the Ram 3500 and GMC Sierra 3500. Classes 4-6 encompass medium vehicles and include trucks like Ford E-450, GMC 5500, and the International Durastar. Lastly, class 7 vehicles are considered heavy and include trucks like Ford F-750.

Half of Drivers Are Currently Without ELDs

There are currently 32 million drivers operating class 3-7 vehicles commercially; however, 16 million of those drivers are driving with an electronic logging device. That means come April 1st, half of the 32 million drivers will be placed out of service and will be unable to legally drive. Complying with the ELD mandate doesn’t have to be a long, complicated process, though. With Konexial’s My20 ELD, complying with the FMCSA ELD mandate is as easy as downloading the app and connecting it to the ELD hardware via bluetooth.
