🚛 What does an inspector see in your ELD?

More than you think. When you hand over your ELD data at a roadside inspection, the officer can review your current day plus the previous 7 days — 8 days total. And they cross-check it against GPS, fuel transactions, and weigh station records. Falsified logs are easier to catch than ever. 🛰️ Here's what they zoom in on: ① Unassigned miles — driving with no driver assigned. They WILL ask for an explanation. ② Log edits — every edit needs a justified reason and annotation. Repeating edits = red flag. 🚩 Since April 2026, CVSA has a new rule: if an inspector finds evidence of ELD tampering — altered GPS, shifted times, fake driver accounts — it's an immediate 10-hour out-of-service order. Fines can reach $16,000+ per violation. In 2025 alone, 58,382 falsification violations were cited. Your ELD tells a story. Make sure it's the truth. Keep your logs clean. 🚛
