ELDs or Electronic Logging Devices are fairly new to the trucking world. Some people love them, others wish they never existed. But regardless of where you stand on the matter, you cannot deny that ELDs don\u2019t have any benefits. Their primary uses include monitoring other driving habits in addition to driving hours, but that\u2019s not all they\u2019re useful for! Let\u2019s dig a little deeper into the benefits of an ELD<\/a> together…<\/span><\/p>\n

Do ELDs Improve Fleet’s Safety?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

It comes as no surprise that 90% of accidents are influenced by driver behaviour<\/a>. By using the driver coaching features that ELDs offer, driving habits can be made safer and reduce the likelihood of accidents occurring. Things like speeding, harsh braking or acceleration, and optimized routes can be easily tracked by ELDs and help to monitor drivers. These features allow future employers to have a track record of how the driver performed and was rated for safety – allowing fleet managers to hire the safest drivers and keep the roads free of accidents.<\/span><\/p>\n
