Fleets Divided Over Benefits of ELD Implementation
According to a recent survey, slightly less than half of fleet operators (47 percent) believe the ELD mandate is good for the transportation industry. Over two-thirds (69 percent) of the companies said ELDs do not improve driver satisfaction, and 33 percent indicated it is more difficult to retain drivers due to strict HOS compliance.
These concerns coincide with a statement from the American Trucking Associations (ATA) revealing there are 50,000 fewer drivers than available jobs, and an EIA report that diesel fuel costs are at the highest level in over 3 years. When asked about problems with their existing ELD solution, top responses were inaccurate data, connectivity issues, and poor technical support.
The finding were provided by Cortex, a leader in compliance and fleet management solutions. The survey featured responses from more than 30 U.S. trucking companies of various sizes.
