US Automotive Logistics (USAL), the vehicle transport company, is trying out a new Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that documents truck and driver performance, GPS and hours of service along with transmitting information back to cloud servers.
Developed by Car Delivery Network (CDN), a UK based logistics software company, the ELD devices are connected to the truck’s CAN bus and driver’s tablet via Bluetooth and transmit truck data to support the Hours of Service (HOS) application running on the tablet. This new technology offers vehicle transport companies to change the way truck and driver data are used. It also is designed to reduce more paper in the truck.
