VDO RoadLog video

Continental Commercial Vehicles & Aftermarket offers a new educational video that demonstrates how the new VDO RoadLog Electronic On Board Recorder (EOBR) can deliver what it calls “a simple and affordable solution” for compliance with the FMSCA hours-of-service (HOS) regulations that became official on July 1. The company says it can also help both fleets and independent contractors be ready for future rule changes and new regulations.

The video provides a general overview of the VDO RoadLog EOBR, its overall affordability, and operational benefits. The EOBR does not require monthly fees and is said to deliver automated HOS logs with GPS accuracy. It has an onboard printer that can produce an instant paper log for enforcement officials at compliance inspections. VDO RoadLog also features fleet management software, which will allow fleet owners to compile data from each of their drivers and every trip they make into a single database.

It’s said to offer fleets and independent operators an all-in-one solution for daily logbook and other compliance reporting. It’s really a complete regulatory compliance system, says Continental. It’s compliant with IRP/IFTA reporting requirements as well as other key compliance data such as Vehicle Inspection and Repair Maintenance (DVIR).

VDO RoadLog is claimed to be the most affordable electronic log on the market. In addition to no monthly fees, there are also no long-term contracts or smartphones required. It installs in as little as 15 minutes.

The ‘EOBR Mandate Solution’ video is part of a “comprehensive” library of how-to and training videos available here. They can be viewed from laptops, tablets, and mobile phones.
