Teletrac Navman has guaranteed federally mandated electronic logging device hours of service compliance for the company's Director product platform.

Director HOS customers will receive free firmware and software updates to comply with the ELD mandate requirements throughout the ELD timeline and beyond, according to Teletrac. The current Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 395.15 Hours of Service regulations gives the current solution compliance through December 2019.

The FMCSA's ELD Final Rule mandates the use of compliant ELD devices, however certain aspects of the technical specifications required to stay compliant have not yet been published.

As a result, Teletrac Navman will continue to upgrade existing Director HOS customers with the relevant compliance specifications when they are set. This will ensure that Director HOS customers will remain protected after the Dec. 18, 2017 and Dec. 16, 2019 compliance deadlines.

The Director fleet management platform tracks assets and collects data for business insights. In addition to reducing the paperwork necessary for tracking HOS, it provides real-time information to help carriers reduce operational expenses, identify trends, improve business processes and build a more efficient, safe, and connected fleet.
