RODS Graph in the Geotab Drive App D (Drive) You’ve got four different duty statuses, each logged on one of four lines: Sample Countdown Timer with Cycle Time Left from the Geotab Drive App

For example, if you ended your shift at 8 PM on Saturday night, you would still need your full 10-hour break to be able to start driving again at 6 AM on Sunday morning. NOTE: Just because you gain hours back at midnight does not mean that you can begin driving again at midnight. On Tuesday at midnight, you would gain 5 hours back. On Monday at midnight, you would gain 11 hours back.

In this example, that means that you would have 8 hours back on Sunday, plus the 1 hour you had left on your cycle from the week before.

Once midnight on Sunday hits, you will gain back the hours you used the previous Sunday. Let’s say it’s Saturday night, and these are the hours you’ve worked all week: To understand this, consider the following graph. If you prefer not to take 34 hours OFF, you can use rolling days instead. Once you have spent this time OFF, you will gain your full 60 hours back to start a new 60-hour duty cycle. This just means that you are OFF duty for a full 34 hours. Once every 7 days you can perform a 34-hour restart. Since the main variation between these two rulesets is the number of days in a cycle, and the 60-hour/7-day rule is probably the easiest to understand, we’ll explain a few main points about cycles in more detail using the 60-hour/7-day as our model.

Two of the more common rulesets for property-carrying drivers are the 60-hour/7-day and 70-hour/8-day, and how their cycles work is almost identical.įor the 60-hour/7-day ruleset, you can have a total of 60 hours of ON-duty and Drive time within a 7-day period.įor the 70-hour/8-day ruleset, you can have a total of 70 hours of ON-duty and Drive time within an 8-day period. There are numerous rulesets under the HOS laws for different types of drivers, and which ruleset you’re following will determine your duty cycle. Because of a “change of terminology” this acronym is not used within the US Hours of Service law. An EOBR is simply an Electronic On-Board Recorder. Geotab’s ELD Solution: Geotab Drive App and Hardware (GO Unit and Harness) And, Why Not? Let’s Cover EOBRs Here, Too…Īnother term that you may have heard thrown around is “EOBR”. ELDsĮlectronic Logging Devices (ELDs) are digital log-recording devices that automatically capture your D (Drive) statuses and do a whole bunch of other things (like allow you to electronically transfer your logs during an inspection) to comply with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) 12/18/17 ELD mandate.

As of December 16, 2019, AOBRDs were no longer compliant and had to be replaced with ELDs. Automatic On-Board Recording Devices (AOBRDs) were essentially any log-recording device that did not meet the US standard for an Electronic Logging Device (ELD).ĪOBRDs were around starting in the 1980s, and then were grandfathered into the December 18, 2017, ELD mandate for the next two years.
