Safety and Compliance are Key Your role in the transportation industry has many potential dangers and
safety is critical. ORBCOMM contributes to a safer transportation ecosystem
by providing tools that empower you to focus more on the road, automate
compliance and increase safety so you can go home to your family safe and
secure when the workday is done.
Our tools simplify Hours of Service time recording and help you meet the
requirements of the Electronic Logging Device Mandate through easy-to-use
driver technology and cellular networks that keep your vehicle connected.
Ways Our ELD Helps Increase Transportation Safety
Real-Time Coaching: The Pro-400 ELD device provides verbal, in-cab
coaching related to speed, aggressive driving and seatbelt use to ensure
safe behaviors are occurring throughout a trip.
Increased Attention on the Road: Our ELD includes a countdown timer to
break and audible alerts which let you keep your eyes on the road and give
you plenty of time to find parking before reaching HOS limits.
Less Intrusive Communications: In the past it may have been required to call
your administrator to relay HOS or location information. Now your
administrator can receive this information automatically through our
portal. No call is needed.
Quicker Inspections: Roadside inspections go faster when inspection
officials can verify HOS regulation compliance with a glance at a screen.

Driver Responsibilities—ELD Mandate Driver Logs: Drivers have more responsibility under the ELD Mandate!
Drivers need to review logs and certify them daily. Not doing so may result
in hours of service violations. You will be able to show inspectors a graph
grid display of your Records of Duty Status (RODS) and transfer them by
email, Bluetooth, or USB methods.
Driving Time: Driving hours cannot be adjusted by anyone
including the driver, an administrator, or ORBCOMM. Be accurate
in recording driving time! If you make an error, annotate it in the
log.
Log Edits: Under the ELD Mandate, you have more responsibility
for your logs than in the past. You must ensure the accuracy of
your records and certify each day’s logs. Your administrator can
suggest edits, but you must accept or reject the edits and certify
your own records.
Unassigned Driving Time, a.k.a. Unidentified Driver Logs: When
you log in, you must review any unassigned driving time and accept
or reject it. If you are a team driver, you can reassign time to your
team driver.
Automated Driving Status: Per the ELD Mandate, the ELD device will
automatically capture driving time when the vehicle exceeds 5 MPH.
• Exception: If the carrier has authorized Yard Moves or Personal
Conveyance, automatic driving time will not be captured when
using these statuses.
Yard Moves: If your carrier has assigned Yard Moves capability to you, you
must manually put yourself into this status. You must also put yourself
manually back into other statuses such as on duty, not driving when
finished.

Personal Conveyance: If your carrier has assigned Personal Conveyance
capability to you, you must manually put yourself into this status. You must
also put yourself manually back into other statuses such as on duty, not
driving when finished.
Roadside Inspection: You must be able to show inspectors a graph grid
display of your Records of Duty Status (RODS) and transfer them by email,
Bluetooth, or USB methods.
Device Malfunctions: If your ELD Device malfunctions, you must:
1. Notify your carrier of the malfunction within 24 hours
2. Create paper logs and graph grids for the current 24-hour period
and the previous seven (7) consecutive days unless you can
retrieve them from the ELD.
Required Documentation: You must always carry the following information

Appendix: Selected Sections From 49 CFR § 395 49 CFR § 395.34 ELD Malfunctions and data diagnostic events.
(a) Recordkeeping during ELD malfunctions. In case of an ELD malfunction, a driver must do the following:
(1) Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours;
(2) Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty status on graph-grid paper logs that comply with § 395.8, unless the driver already possesses the records or the records are retrievable from the ELD; and
(3) Continue to manually prepare a record of duty status in accordance with § 395.8 until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance with this subpart.
49 CFR § 395.30 ELD record submissions, edits, annotations, and data
retention.
(a) Accurate record keeping. A driver and the motor carrier must ensure that the driver's ELD records are accurate.
(b) Review of records and certification by driver.
(1) A driver must review the driver's ELD records, edit and correct inaccurate records, enter any missing information, and certify the accuracy of the information.
(2) Using the certification function of the ELD, the driver must certify the driver's records by affirmatively selecting “Agree” immediately following a statement that reads, “I hereby certify that my data entries and my record of duty status for this 24-hour period are true and correct.” The driver must certify the record immediately after the final required entry has been made or corrected for the 24-hour period.

(3) The driver must submit the driver's certified ELD records to the motor carrier in accordance with § 395.8(a)(2).
(4) If any edits are necessary after the driver submits the records to the motor carrier, the driver must recertify the record after the edits are made.
(c) Edits, entries, and annotations.
(1) Subject to the edit limitations of an ELD, a driver may edit, enter missing information, and annotate ELD recorded events. When edits, additions, or annotations are necessary, a driver must use the ELD and respond to the ELD's prompts.
(2) The driver or support personnel must annotate each change or addition to a record.
(3) In the case of team drivers, if there were a mistake resulting in the wrong driver being assigned driving-time hours by the ELD, and if the team drivers were both indicated in each other's records for that period as co- drivers, driving time may be edited and reassigned between the team drivers following the procedure supported by the ELD.
(d) Motor carrier-proposed edits.
(1) On review of a driver's submitted records, the motor carrier may request edits to a driver's records of duty status to ensure accuracy. A driver must confirm or reject any proposed change, implement the appropriate edits on the driver's record of duty status, and recertify and resubmit the records in order for any motor carrier-proposed changes to take effect.
(2) A motor carrier may not request edits to the driver's electronic records before the records have been submitted by the driver.
(3) Edits requested by any system or by any person other than the driver must require the driver's electronic confirmation or rejection.
