commercial carrier journal | august 2016 35 might decide to delay implementation of a full ELD version until 2019, as some required features could add complexity to their operations. The new ELD rule requires that all unassigned drive time – the time that is recorded to the vehicle but not assigned to a driver ID – be presented to driv- ers during the ELD login process. The driver has the first right to reconcile these events before management intervenes. Presenting unassigned events to a driver at login could be difficult for fleets with slip-seat operations. What's to prevent drivers from rejecting driving activities that belong to them? "I see a lot of company policies that need to be put into place to support that piece," Chianelli said. Cuthbertson advised that fleets create login credentials for the primary driver as well as logins for mechanics and other associates who drive short distances but are exempt from hours-of-service regula- tions. Defining the types of fleet move- ments and assigning logins for exempt drivers will help eliminate unassigned events presented to drivers at login, he said.
