Commercial vehicles must remain compliant with important regional and national regulations to keep our roads safe. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a division of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) manages the guidelines that are in use today. Fleet managers across all industries must be aware of any changes to these guidelines that may impact their operations.
One important update that has been made in recent years has been the requirement for use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). These solutions combine hardware and software to automate fleet tracking, support fleet management, and ensure that drivers are following compliance requirements for the operation of their vehicles and time spent on the road. The ultimate goal of this change is to further reduce the number of roadside accidents caused by fatigue.
The use of ELDs has been required since 2017 but the transition for vehicles tracked using Automatic On-Board Recording Devices (AORBDs) was allowed until December of 2019. Now all commercial vehicles that meet certain requirements must be using ELDs to monitor and report their Hours of Service (HOS) logs and Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR).
To help you select the right solution for your operation, we’ve compiled this list of the 50 major ELD manufacturers in the market. Please note, the following ELDs are organized alphabetically and are not ranked or rated in any way.

Apollo ELD is a driver-friendly ELD solution with Bluetooth and wired device options.
