I think JB Hunt installs it more for workflow than the log itself.
The only thing in the regs concerning the truck and the AOBR is that it must notify of sensor failure. But the actual interface to the truck isn't addressed in any way by the regs, and you can make a compliant AOBR that works strictly off of GPS.
I was just reading the regs themselves, but on another page I find this:Any links to said AOBR?
Feature/Function
Integral Synchronization
1988 AOBRD Rule Integral synchronization required, but term not defined in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs)
ELD Rule .Integral synchronization interfacing with the CMV engine electronic control module (ECM), to automatically capture engine power status, vehicle motion status, miles driven, engine hours. (CMVs older than model year 2000 exempted.)
That says 2000 and newer without an ECM.
But at least we know the registration card should be adequate proof of exemption for older stuff.
Oh gotcha.Yeah, I know it does. My point was more that there may well be ELD compliant devices that don't require the ECM connection.
Mainly it will flag any jumps in the parameters. It also uses checksums to ensure the data hasn't been tampered with after recording. Scroll to the bottom of this page: SuperCommie Device RequirementsWhat does the 2019 requirement SuperCommie device monitor that the regular commie device doesn't?
Is it going to automatically rat you out to the Econazi Gestapo when your CEL light comes on?

They have it for the logbook part of CSA compliance - don't kid yourself about that. But yeah, the big thing that makes financial sense for large carriers is the return that the information provided by ELDs give thrm.I think JB Hunt installs it more for workflow than the log itself.

If JB requires an ELD, then you will have to maintain your logs on it. Having a second logbook on paper is illegal because you can't have two logbooks.
If that's why you want a pre-2000 truck - to use paper logbooks - it won't do you any good.
I've been thinking about this all day and I get what you're saying now @Mike .I think for shippers that are shipping this short loads 200 miles , even 250 miles out of a city or major town , it won't be a serious issue because local trucking companies might be able to take advantage of the new market that might emerge . But for a shipper out in the middle of nowhere this could be a real dilemma. But then again I see the possibility of RESCUE contractors setting up shop in these kind of areas . For example with my CDL I could set up shop near ( let's make up a name ) , Jack's Widget Foundry . I know Jack has loads , through research and keeping up with sites like this , that continually give him issues that can't meet timelines because ELDs can't be manipulated to buy needed time .
Now if I'm smart I buy a little piece of land and put a mobile home on it all paid outright , so I have no over head. Now I can sell my services of driving to drivers . Basically they set up two loads from Jack's Widget. First load they go off duty and I drive truck , with them in it or not , to and from for first load for a fee that allows us both to make something out of it . Then driver has fresh hours to take second load and go on his way .
It's not as simple as I make it sound but it's not impossible either . But your point here does show how a whole new market will emerge and maybe a whole industry of temp and rescue drivers could emerge ( yes to some extent this does exist no , BIG RIG RESCUE , but it's a nitche market ... Not really a big part of the industry )
In that case you have all the way up to and including 2003 - EGR was introduced in model year 2004 and up.I know.
I want it for easy DIY and no emissionsm.
Good to know. Opens up more possibilities.In that case you have all the way up to and including 2003 - EGR was introduced in model year 2004 and up.
In a very few cases, some late '03's have EGR on them, but that was only when manufacturers started running out of '03 engines late in the year. You just have to look at the engine. It's pretty obvious, because all the plumbing was external to the block on Detroits and Cummins. CAT introduced ACERT on '04 engines only.
