Idealease locations will present ELD solutions in the following manner:

  • Rental personnel will review ELD Exceptions with the customer to determine if they are exempt from being required to utilize an ELD.
  • Reasons for exemption include:
    • Drivers who have a rental vehicle for 8 days or less.
    • Drivers who use paper logs for not more than 8 days during any rolling 30-day period.
    • Drivers who conduct driveaway-towaway operations, where the vehicle is the product being delivered.
    • Drivers of vehicles manufactured before model year 2000 (due to vehicle connectivity concerns; this is a change from the proposed rule).
    • Drivers who operate using the logbook exception (i.e. short-haul 100 air mile CDL and 150 air mile Non-CDL drivers) and can comply to the exception 22 days out of a rolling 30 day period.
  • Idealease locations will allow customers to bring their own portable ELD kits to install on our rental units.
  • Idealease customers will be allowed to bring their own smart devices and connect to existing telematic/ELD units already in the rental truck or Idealease locations will have portable ELD kits available for installation in the rental unit should the customer be subject to the ELD regulation.
  • Idealease has Preferred ELD Suppliers that can keep customers in compliance with the ELD regulation requirements for leased and owned equipment.

Throughout all phases of the ELD regulation, Idealease locations will be available to discuss your specific needs to keep you in compliance.
