FMCSA-Certified Instructor Leads Online, Interactive Q&A Session to Address Industry-Wide ELD Compliance Concerns

MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- FleetUp, a provider of comprehensive Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) and Hours of Service (HOS) compliance solutions for Intelligent Fleet Management, will be hosting a webinar discussing the upcoming December 2017 ELD mandate on Wednesday, Sept. 13, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. The free 90-minute Q&A session will offer live, expert advice from Samuel Mayfield, retired state trooper, DOT auditor & inspector and FMCSA-certified instructor.

Unique to the industry as the only open discussion of its kind on the ELD mandate, the webinar will include an overview of mandate requirements, the state of political activities to delay the mandate deadline, and will explore the business benefits of an intelligent fleet management system. An interactive, lengthy Q&A session will follow where Samuel Mayfield will answer questions from the audience in real-time and broadcast via live video feed.

"In this event I will demystify the ELD mandate and cut through all the misinformation, much of which is coming from many of the vendors themselves," said Mayfield. "Take Bluetooth ELDs, for example. In our last webinar, as I was discussing the dangers of Bluetooth ELDs, an attendee volunteered that they had failed 17 of their last 23 HOS inspections because of the known connection issues with Bluetooth ELDs not capturing data. Providing an interactive platform where fleet professionals can have all their questions answered demonstrates FleetUp's commitment to effectively educating the industry on all the latest developments."

FleetUp's "Ask the Expert About the ELD Mandate" webinar will address:

• Up-to-date information on the ELD mandate and how it affects businesses, including who needs to comply, when and how to leverage technology applications for easy, effective compliance practices
• An analysis of the political efforts to delay the mandate and projection of how, if at all, this will affect the mandate timeline
• 60-90 minutes of Q&A to address audience questions in a live, interactive format

"Now more than ever businesses should be considering how they will maintain productivity, efficiency and overall service excellence as they consider new technology solutions with the ELD compliance date looming," said FleetUp CTO Ezra Kwak. "Samuel's expertise is an invaluable resource for succeeding in the fleet management industry, providing his audience with a firm understanding of how to meet mandate requirements, leverage useful technology solutions for effective management practices and apply simple tips to achieve both compliance and additional business benefits."
