The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has updated the News and Events page on its Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) website with training and webinar recordings for the motor carrier industry and ELD providers.

NEW: Interactive Training Courses

FMCSA has created and posted two interactive ELD training courses to provide a refresher to help ensure that motor carriers and drivers subject to the ELD rule, and ELD providers, are prepared for the December 16, 2019 deadline for full conversion from Automatic Onboard Recording Devices (AOBRDs) to ELDs. Topics include data transfer methods, the difference between ELDs and AOBRDs, and how to address technical issues or maintain device compliance.
