Though the Electronic Logging Devices deadline has passed, we still see questions about AOBRD versus ELD solutions<\/a>. That\u2019s no surprise, considering that the highly regulated trucking business is often a big serving of technical terms and acronyms.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s make sense of the AOBRD (automatic onboard recording device) versus ELD (Electronic Logging Device) question and offer some insights about implementation.<\/p>\n If you want to get technical, an ELD really is a type of AOBRD. While that’s also true of an Electronic On-Board Recorder, that\u2019s not a term we hear very often.<\/p>\n The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has resources that explore the technical specifics<\/a>. In a nutshell, ELDs have more capabilities and are more automated than AOBRDs. For example, AOBRDs record miles driven, date and time, speed and engine use. And ELDs add to the capabilities with data such as total engine hours, location, engine power, and vehicle motion.<\/p>\n Also, ELDs transfer data automatically and can handle more self-diagnostics.<\/p>\n There\u2019s another aspect to the AOBRD versus ELD conversation: ELDs are built with the intent of giving drivers more control over their logs. They\u2019ll be able to correct information as-needed to ensure the most accurate tracking.<\/p>\n The videos below dives into ELD functionality. ELD expert John Gaither breaks the issue down so that organizations, drivers and fleet managers can understand why AOBRDs are making way for new technology.<\/p>\n As our ELD expert, John Gaither has fielded just about every ELD-related question. In these videos, he’ll answer some of the most-common questions — starting with John’s Top 3 tips for transitioning to ELDs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”] Next, John discusses some of the real differences between AOBRDs and ELDs.\u00a0<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]Don\u2019t They Do the Same Thing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
