What this product does
Maven ELD provides FMCSA-compliant electronic logging for Hours of Service (HOS). It records driving time, duty status changes, and inspections so carriers can meet regulatory requirements and manage driver compliance.
ELD captures engine and movement data from devices and associates it with drivers, creating an auditable log of activity.
Who uses it
-
Drivers – log HOS, change duty status, complete inspections
-
Safety and compliance teams – review logs, violations, and edits
-
Fleet administrators – manage ELD settings, drivers, and rulesets
Where it fits in the workflow
-
ELD devices capture vehicle and engine data
-
Drivers use the ELD interface (often on the same tablet as the Driver App) to:
-
Change duty status
-
Review and certify logs
-
Complete DVIRs and inspections
-
-
Compliance teams review logs and violations in the back office
-
HOS availability can be surfaced to:
-
Dispatch & Planning
-
Linehaul
to inform planning and assignment decisions
-
Maven ELD answers “Are our drivers compliant with HOS rules, and can we prove it?”
Key concepts & terminology
-
HOS (Hours of Service) – federal driving and rest regulations
-
Duty status – off duty, sleeper berth, driving, on duty not driving
-
Log – record of driver activity over time
-
Violation – instance where an HOS rule is exceeded
-
DVIR – Driver Vehicle Inspection Report
What this product does NOT do
Maven ELD does not:
-
Plan or dispatch routes – that is Maven Dispatch & Planning, Inbound, and Linehaul
-
Replace the Driver App route execution workflow (ELD focuses on logs, not stops)
-
Serve as the primary fleet visibility or analytics platform – that is Maven Fleet
-
Replace your TMS or safety management system (it provides compliance data to them)
