Owner-operator Jon Hose and a malfunction junction where ELDs meet hours enforcement

Hose was put out of service with a false-log violation in Missouri early in June, as his One20 ELD was giving him problems en route a couple weeks prior to the company stopping support for the device on June 18. For Hose, his run with that particular ELD is one marred by inexplicable automatic duty-status changes and other malfunctions he can’t explain to this day, His story is one of difficulty, generally, as a direct result of selection of an ELD provider. This talk with him reveals how inspectors and state-patrol personnel are handling en-route malfunctions, and how you can be prepared for one should it happen to you.
