To begin with, the FMCSA estimated that drivers filled out paper driver logs and other required paperwork for an average of 20 hours annually.

According to FMCSA, using ELDs/ELD Compliance and Electronic Logging systems can cut down on paperwork by about 15 minutes per day. The precise nature of ELDs, as opposed to rounding up to the nearest 15 minutes as was the case with paper logs, allows for an additional five or more hours of drive time to be added each week.
In summary, more driving time translates into higher pay for drivers and increased profitability for operators.

Audible alerts that tell you when to take a break

It's no longer necessary to rely on your watch to alert you when your HOS limit is getting close to being reached. When a driver's HOS limit is approaching, many ELDs give an audible warning. When the mandatory 30-minute break is about to begin, they may also sound an audible alarm.

The mobile app on Motive's ELDs has alerts that can warn drivers when they are getting close to their limit. They have the option of setting the duration to 60, 45, 30, 15, or never minutes. Text-to-speech alerts are also available, and if they are turned on, they will read the notification aloud.
