Title:
Identifying Manipulated Electronic Logging Devices for State and Federal Enforcement Agencies
Date:
Jul 8, 2025

Description

This session was designed for local, state, and federal enforcement and other state agencies responsible for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) inspections, licensing, and enforcement. This session provided a practical overview of how to detect potential manipulation of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs). The presenter guided attendees through the process of cross-referencing ELD data with supporting documentation—such as fuel receipts, toll records, and GPS logs—to identify discrepancies in times, dates, and locations. In addition to data comparison strategies, the session highlighted common red flags and behavioral indicators that may suggest tampering or falsification. Real-world examples were shared to illustrate investigative techniques and enforcement best practices.
