IVG & MCP Customers

This site will help you transition from AOBRD to ELD on the IVG/MCP platforms. We recommend that you download and print the checklist on the right and use it to follow along in the steps of the process. How long it takes to roll out ELD is based on the size of your fleet, how many firmware upgrades or application upgrades you have to complete, and how quickly you can train your teams.

Task	Time	Considerations
How ELD Affects Your Fleet	Several days	This is an overview of conceptual, UI, and functional changes that drivers and your Hours of Service administrators need to be aware of. They may prompt you to review your current procedures and policies to ensure compliance.
Step 1: Train Back Office	Days or weeks	Your back office uses Hours of Service daily, so you need to show them new fields, driver alerts, reports, and changes to log editing. Not only do they need to be able to do their tasks, but they must also support driver needs. Be sure to present any new or updated policies or procedures you may have because of the ELD Mandate.
Step 2: Train Drivers	Days or weeks	Drivers also see new fields, alerts, reports, and changes to log editing. Ideally, train all drivers at the same time on day one of their logs. You may need to follow up with a refresher training after you implement ELD to remind them of their responsibilities and procedures. Don’t skip this training! – Done correctly, it greatly reduces back office log edits and calls from drivers about new popups or problems. If you can, get a demo unit (bag unit) from Omnitracs so your drivers may practice managing and editing logs in a way that doesn’t affect their official logs of record.
Step 3: Update Company, Driver, and Vehicle Records	Several days to several weeks	The ELD Mandate requires additional information about your assets. You can manually update each driver and vehicle or use the Bulk Importer to update them all at once.
Step 4: Update Firmware	Several hours to several days	Decide how you want to update your firmware - manually by USB stick, have an authorized sevice center do it for you, or schedule the over-the-air update through Omnitracs.
Step 5: Enable ELD	A few minutes to several hours	If you want to trial ELD with a portion of your fleet, you can enable ELD for a depot or a few vehicles. If your teams are prepared, you can enable your entire fleet at once.
ELD Best Practices	Continuing tasks	These are tasks your teams should be doing today, but if not, we'll cover those tasks, best practices, and reports as well as preparing for audits.
