Malfunction Reporting
If an ELD malfunction occurs, the driver must:

1. Note the malfunction of the ELD device and provide a written notice of the malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours;
2. Reconstruct the record of duty status (RODS) for the current 24-hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the RODS on graph-grid paper logs, or electronic logging software that comply with 49 CFR 395.8, unless the driver already has the records or retrieves them from the ELD; and
3. Continue to manually prepare RODS in accordance with 49 CFR 395.8, until the ELD is serviced and back in compliance. The recording of driver’s hours of service on paper log, or electronic logging software, cannot continue for more than 8 days after the malfunction; a driver that continues to record his or her hours of service on paper log, or logging software beyond 8 days risks being placed out of service.

If an ELD malfunction occurs, the motor carrier must:

1. Correct, repair, replace, or service the malfunctioning ELD within eight days of discovering the condition or a driver’s notification to the motor carrier, whichever occurs first; and
2. Require the driver to maintain paper record of duty status (RODS) until the ELD is back in service.

Frequently asked questions

What transfer method should I select when creating an eRODS transfer?

The indicator icons are flashing red.
If the indicator icons are flashing red this means that the application is unable to connect to the ELD device.
