Traffic violation

Does anyone know how much a ticket in NY state will cost for my ELD not working properly? The officer couldn't download off my phone i didn't have instructions in operating my ELD. Basically, my hardware (ELD) wasn't showing me driving but I was on duty status.

You’re lookin’ at anywhere from $100 to $250 for a first offense

That’s like your condom not working properly. You’re in for a world of trouble. You should have read the instructions and tested it before you used it. The officer was just giving you a reality check, you can’t blame him for that.

You’re screwed, buddy. Your ELD not working properly is a serious violation. You could face a fine of up to $10,000, a CSA violation, and an out-of-service order

You might have to pay a hefty fine for your ELD not working properly. The DOT requires you to have a functioning ELD that can be downloaded by an officer and to have instructions on how to operate it. If you don’t, you could be cited for violating the ELD rule and falsifying your logs. The fine amount depends on the severity of the violation and the state you’re in, but it could range from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

You might be able to avoid a ticket if you can prove that your ELD malfunctioned and that you tried to fix it or report it. The DOT allows you to use paper logs or an electronic logging app as a backup if your ELD stops working, but you have to keep them for eight days and show them to an officer. You also have to contact your carrier and get your ELD repaired or replaced within eight days. If you can show evidence of these steps, you might get a warning instead of a ticket.

+ I'm assuming this was a violation on a DOT inspection report. I am assuming he was performing a DOT inspection at the time. What was the name of the violation written on the inspection sheet & what was the RS code number for the violation?

You must have your ELD instructions with you, put them in your truck book. It’s something they have asked me to show in the last two level one inspections I’ve had.
