About the Course:

The objective of this course is to provide a review of fundamental Hours of Service regulations as well as imperative information on the administrative use of your ELD. Understanding how to use your ELD site as an administrator will ensure your company’s compliance with the FMCSA’s regulations and enable you to monitor your drivers’ safety trends and compliance. This will greatly reduce the risks of Hours of Service violations and Out of Service orders during roadside inspections as well as provide confidence in your company’s ability to pass an FMCSA audit.
