Zombies need simple ELD hardware. If it’s too hard to install, they’ll just go eat somebody’s brains, and still not know how to set up an ELD for their truck. The ELD mandate was created to make sure we have alert truckers driving loads, not zombie-tired drivers who should have gone to sleep hours ago.
ELD Hardware
ELD hardware is the device that plugs into a truck’s computer system and records hours of service so a driver meets the FMCSA electronic logging mandate. The simplest ELD hardware is plug and play, with no need to get into your engine.
Because of the government’s mandate, the installation of an ELog or ELD isn’t optional. In 2017, a lot of different companies came up with designs for an ELD that met the FMCSA requirements, but many of them required complicated steps to install it.
Right from the beginning, TruckingOffice ELD was designed for simplicity. Not for the Zombie Truck Drivers. For all truckers.
Plug and Play ELD Hardware
The simplest way to set up an ELD is plug and play. There’s no need to get into your engine. The Vehicle Interface Device (VID) plugs directly into your rig’s computer system. Usually, that plug is directly under your dashboard. The electronic control module (ECM) lets you plug your TruckingOffice ELD in and once you install the ELD app, you’re ready to roll. Even a zombie could do it.
Zombies on the Road
The major purpose of the e-log device is to track hours of service. But the ELD or e-log device can do a lot more for a trucker or a trucking company
- location tracking
- monitoring driving behavior
But things are changing with artificial intelligence (AI).
It’s important to keep drivers who aren’t alert off the road. Whatever we think about the HOS restrictions, fewer sleepy truck drivers on the road is best for everyone. Having a record of a truck’s location when the shipping crew’s problems leads to detention fees being owed to the driver is important.
But with AI, are we seeing big changes in data collection? We think so. So simple ELD hardware that isn’t collecting all of your personal data may be important to you.
TruckingOffice ELD
TruckingOffice ELD is the simplest ELD hardware you’re going to find on the market. Because we only keep the records that the government mandates, you don’t have to worry about us selling your information to anyone. We keep your data private, but

- you don’t have to have a contract
- it will provide any requested ELD log upon demand
