Overview
Electronic Logging Device (ELD) tracking is a component for carriers completing shipments through Auto Hauler Exchange (AHX). ELD integration allows the platform to automatically share real-time location updates during transport, helping reduce manual check calls and providing clear visibility into shipment progress.
By utilizing ELD tracking, AHX helps create a more transparent and reliable transportation experience for both carriers and shippers while ensuring loads move efficiently from pickup to delivery.
What Is ELD Tracking?
An Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is a federally mandated system that records a commercial driver’s driving time, location, and hours of service. These devices are connected directly to the truck and provide accurate, real-time location data.
Within Auto Hauler Exchange, ELD data is used strictly for shipment visibility and verification purposes—not for driver monitoring or enforcement.

Visibility
Once you have connected your provider you are able to view your connections at any time within your account.
You will be able to see which vehicles are insured and which are not.
To update your insurance, please do so through Highway. You will first need to contact your insurance provider to ensure any vehicles not currently listed on your Certificate of Insurance (COI) are added. Once your policy has been updated, you can submit the new COI through Highway.
ELD Connection Reminders
If your account is not connected to an ELD provider, a banner will appear at the top of your dashboard when you log in prompting you to connect one.
Click “Connect ELD” and follow the steps outlined above to complete the setup.
You can also connect your ELD after booking a load. On the “My Loads” page, locate the load and click “Connect ELD” next to it, then follow the same steps to finish connecting your provider.
Selecting ELD When Booking a Load
When booking a load, you will be prompted to select which vehicle you are using for that specific load.
From the dropdown menu, you will be able to see all vehicles connected to your AHX account.
If you have any vehicles that are uninsured or not connected through ELD they will be greyed out and you won’t be able to select them for the load.
