| Abstract | Truck drivers and carrier personnel were interviewed on the use of electronic logging devices (ELDs) for keeping track of driving hours and whether these devices were used to harass drivers. This research examined the following issues: • Whether drivers considered their ELD-related experiences and interactions with their carriers as harassment. • How frequently drivers reported the occurrence of ELD-related harassment. • Whether these interactions were enabled by the carrier using hours-of-service (HOS) data collected via an ELD and whether it was a standalone ELD or a comprehensive system which included ELD capability. • Whether drivers who use ELDs for tracking HOS differ from those who use paper logs. |
