How do drivers certify their logs in an ELD system?

Drivers certify their logs daily by reviewing their recorded Hours of Service (HOS) in the ELD system and electronically signing to confirm accuracy. The process typically involves:

• Log Review: The driver accesses their daily log via the ELD’s interface or mobile app to review recorded driving, on-duty, and off-duty periods.

• Making Adjustments: If there are inaccuracies, drivers can suggest edits before certifying the log. Motor carriers must approve these edits.

• Certification: Drivers electronically sign their log to certify that it is accurate and complete for that day.

• Error Resolution: If an error is found after certification, the driver can recertify the log after corrections are made.

Certifying logs is critical because uncertified records are considered non-compliant during inspections or audits.
