Electronic On Board Recorders
HOME  >  Landstar Advantage > August

An electronic on-board recorder (EOBR) is an electronic device attached to a commercial motor vehicle, which records the amount of time a vehicle is being driven. This is similar to the tachograph, and is the American equivalent of the digital tachograph used in Europe.

EOBR Benefits:
  • Logs are always current when stopped for a roadside inspection. Helps to eliminate the most common violation(s) in the Fatigue driving Basic and helps to reduce our CSA scores.
  • No more paper log submissions. The log data is automatically submitted to Landstar daily, eliminating the inconvenience of manual paper processes.
  • You don’t have to complete paper DVIRs. You can complete DVIRs electronically using the EOBR.
  • Unit alerts you when you are nearing the Hours of Service driving limits and helps you stay in compliance.
  • Reduces the need for manual status updates. Customers, agents and employees have access to the location updates based on information transmitted by the EOBR.
  • Law enforcement focuses less on logs during roadside inspections.

Compliance Benefits:
  • Increased log accuracy
  • Form & manner violations are virtually eliminated
  • EOBRs are present & current
  • Real time duty status helps reduce violations

Nothing is more important than operating safely and in compliance at Landstar!
