Q. Recently, because of a hardware failure, I had to replace the ELD in one of our fleet’s trucks. What do I need to do to make sure that driver’s records are up-to-date?

A. In the case of replacement — because of a hardware or other failure — or equipment reset, it’s required that data or documents showing the driver’s records of duty status (RODS) history in the vehicle be available. This data must include the driver’s past seven days of RODS loaded either into the new or reset ELD or in paper format. This data must be readily available during a roadside inspection.
