What is the ELD Mandate?

The ELD (Electronic Logging Device) Mandate is a road safety initiative that seeks to enforce the use of tablets, phones, and other logging devices within commercial vehicles. This change in legislation will provide tracking information that seeks to help reduce the number of fatigue related collisions and improve compliance with legal amount of driving hours, among other reasons. If you would like to understand the ELD Mandate in greater depth, the legislative documents can be found by clicking here.

Our team’s expertise with in-vehicle mounting solutions will help your clients becomes fully ELD Compliant. Not only does the ELD Mandate require that all commercial vehicles contain logging devices, it requires that these devices are mounted in a fixed position and visible to the driver within all commercial vehicles. As a result, all logging devices require an in-vehicle installation, and a mounting solution for their specific device.

RAM GDS
RAM Mounts GDS Systems offer integrated charging ability and seamless integration with their cradle solutions. The GDS system uses a case to adapt the power connector to the GDS pogo pin.
