What modifications can be made to a log and who can make these modifications?

- Who can edit an electronic logging device (ELD) record?
Both the driver and authorized carrier staff can make limited edits to an ELD record to correct mistakes or add missing information. All edits must include a note (annotation) to explain the reason for the edit. In addition, the driver must confirm (certify) that any carrier edit is accurate, and resubmit the records. If the driver chooses not to re-certify RODs, this is also reflected in the ELD record. - Are the original electronic logging device (ELD) records retained after edits are made, and accessible to drivers?
Yes. The original ELD records are retained even when allowed edits and annotations are made. The ELD must also provide a mechanism for a driver to obtain a copy of the driver’s own ELD records in either an electronic or printout format. However, the right to access is limited to a six-month period, consistent with the period during which a motor carrier must retain drivers’ records of duty status (RODS). - Can a user edit or change driving time that has been recorded by an electronic logging device (ELD) to non-driving time?
No. An ELD automatically records all the time that a CMV is in motion as driving time and that cannot be edited or changed to non-driving time.
