Revolutionizing Agriculture Hauling with Automated ELD Compliance
When it comes to hauling agricultural commodities, compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) is crucial—but it can also be complicated. Traditional ELDs often require drivers to manually track their position relative to the 150 air-mile exemption zone, leading to unnecessary stops, status changes, and, frankly, a lot of headaches.
Here’s the game-changer: RoadReady’s Agriculture ELD. We’ve developed the only ELD on the market that integrates and automates Agriculture Exemption 395.1(k), specifically designed for ag haulers. This exemption allows drivers to record drive time as off-duty when operating within a 150 air-mile radius of a commodity pick-up location. Unlike other ELDs that force drivers to log this time under Personal Conveyance (PC) and then manually switch back to normal logging, our system handles it all automatically.
Why does this matter?
- Safety and Convenience: Figuring out where the 150-mile point begins and ends isn’t always easy—and it’s rarely convenient to pull over right at that point to switch duty statuses. With our ELD, there’s no need to stop; the system automatically adjusts your status as you move in and out of the exemption zone, keeping you safe and compliant without the hassle.
- Precision and Compliance: Our ELD uses advanced GPS technology to precisely calculate and monitor your location relative to the exemption zone. This ensures you’re always in compliance with FMCSRs, reducing the risk of fines and keeping your operations smooth.
- Efficiency: With automatic status changes, you can focus on what you do best—hauling agricultural goods—without worrying about constant ELD adjustments. This means more time on the road and less time managing logs.
For AG haulers, staying compliant just got a whole lot easier. The RoadReady Agriculture ELD is designed to take the guesswork out of your operations, letting you focus on delivering quality without the stress of manual logging.
