System Overview
The PowerFleet Electronic Logging Device (ELD) system consists of a Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) in the
vehicle, in this case the LV9000, that communicates via cellular communication to an internet-based fleet
management system. This user manual is designed to guide drivers in the use of the PowerFleet ELD system
in order to automate their Hours of Service (HOS) driver logs, sometimes referred to Record of Duty Status
(RODS), as required under FMCSA mandate in the US.
Problems Solved
The LV9000 serves as a tool to maximize fleet operational efficiencies by linking the driver and truck with
back-office transportation and fleet management systems, a tool to keep drivers knowledgeable about their
current or short-term future safe driver status, as well as an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that meets
FMCSA ELD Mandate requirements.
Features
•Minute by minute GPS reporting
•Reduce idle time and fuel burn
•Reduce logging errors and risk of log violation
•Customizable driver workflows based on internal company rules and requirements
•Performance data on drivers and trucks
•Identify maintenance problems before they happen
•Real-time delivery information and up-to-the-minute hours-of-service information
