ELD tampering and regulatory non-compliance enforcement gaps
Definition
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) tampering by non-compliant carriers operating 14-20 hour days creates unlevel competitive playing field. Compliant operators using legitimate ELDs cannot compete against carriers routinely exceeding Hours of Service regulations through device tampering or manipulation. This creates pressure for compliance-focused small operators to consider similar practices, creating legal risk (fines $500-$2,000 per violation, license revocation, criminal charges possible). The enforcement gap allows bad actors to persist, undermining safety-compliant operators' ability to compete profitably. Tampered ELDs also contribute to increased accident rates as chronically fatigued drivers operate vehicles longer than safe.
