SAFE Core · ELD Compliance

Most ELD Violations Aren't Hours Overruns. They're Process Failures.

When we analyzed every HOS violation across a network of thousands of drivers, 84% were form-and-manner errors — paperwork failures inside the ELD. Uncertified logs, missing shipment info, wrong duty status, unclaimed driving minutes. Not drivers running over their hours. Drivers who were never taught their ELD.

That distinction matters because the fix is different. Hours overruns are a dispatch problem. Process failures are a teaching problem — and 75% of drivers fix theirs after one coaching interaction.

What It Watches

What SAFE Core Watches, Log by Log

Monitoring happens at the log level — not a fleet-wide summary light that says “mostly fine.” Four things it watches:

Hours Rules

10, 11, 14, 30-minute break, 60/70 — each tracked separately, so coaching names the specific rule, not a generic “HOS violation.”

Form-and-Manner Errors

The big one. Uncertified logs, missing shipment or trailer info, wrong duty status. These are what roadside inspections find, and almost all of them coach away.

Unidentified Driving

Minutes nobody claimed, quietly piling up until an audit finds them first.

Personal Conveyance

Usage patterns that don’t look personal: long hauls, high mileage, the wrong times. PC abuse carries real consequences, and the pattern is visible before an auditor finds it.

Then What

Then It's Coached Like Everything Else

Each ELD event type is individually configurable — Coach and Score, Coach Only, Score Only, or Disabled — and coached items land in the same single morning digest as camera events. Patterns escalate on your fleet’s thresholds. See how coaching works →

75%   A driver who learns to certify logs correctly on day one doesn’t show up again. That’s the 75%.

Any Provider

Works the same with any ELD platform you run — one provider fleet-wide or different hardware across divisions. How the data comes in →

ELD Compliance Doesn't Fix Itself

If your fleet has unreviewed violations, unclaimed driving minutes, or drivers making the same paperwork mistakes every week — the data is already there. The question is whether anyone acts on it.
