Mastering ELD and Paper Log Compliance for Owner-Operators at RIDEWAY Express

In the fast-paced trucking industry, maintaining compliance with hours of service regulations is crucial for owner-operators who are committed to running a successful and lawful operation. At RIDEWAY Express, we understand the importance of accurate record-keeping, whether you're using electronic logging devices (ELDs) or traditional paper logs. By staying compliant, you not only avoid potential fines and penalties but also ensure the safety and efficiency of your operations.

Electronic logging devices have revolutionized the way owner-operators manage their hours of service. These devices automatically track driving time, making it easier to comply with federal regulations. For those running under RIDEWAY Express authority, keeping up with ELD requirements is straightforward. Our team provides guidance on selecting and installing the right ELD for your truck, ensuring that it meets all necessary specifications. By leveraging ELD technology, you can focus more on driving and less on paperwork, knowing that your logging is accurate and up-to-date.

For some owner-operators, certain situations might still require the use of paper logs. Whether you're transitioning to ELDs or dealing with an ELD malfunction, it's essential to maintain your paper logs with precision. This includes logging trip details such as fuel stops, mileage, and other pertinent information. At RIDEWAY Express, we emphasize the importance of consistency and accuracy in your paper logs to ensure compliance and avoid any discrepancies during inspections.

Understanding the nuances of hours of service regulations is another key aspect of compliance. At RIDEWAY Express, we provide owner-operators with the resources and support needed to navigate these regulations confidently. From understanding daily driving limits to managing rest periods effectively, our guidance ensures that you remain compliant while optimizing your time on the road.
