(a) Drivers Record. Motor carriers shall require each driver and each co-driver to keep a drivers record of duty status (RODS) pursuant to Section 1213. Motor carriers shall keep the original copies of all drivers records with any supporting documents, as defined in Section 1201(y), for 6 months.
Truckers still need to keep a paper log book with them even when using an ELD. In the event of an ELD malfunction, truckers are required to switch to a paper log book until the ELD is repaired or replaced. Drivers must keep at least eight days of paper logs with them at all times.
If you operate within 160 km of your home terminal (and return each day to that home terminal) you are not required to complete a RODS and therefore dont require an ELD. See section 77(3) of the Regulations for additional requirements. However, if you drive outside of the 160 km at any time, you will require an ELD.
All motor carriers and drivers, including those operating in intrastate commerce, are required to use an ELD to record a drivers RODS, pursuant to Title 13 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR), Section 1213(a)(1), unless otherwise exempted.
395.3 Maximum driving time for property-carrying vehicles. A driver may not drive without first taking 10 consecutive hours off duty; (2) 14-hour period. A driver may not drive after a period of 14 consecutive hours after coming on-duty following 10 consecutive hours off-duty.

Drivers and carriers are responsible for maintaining compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations. When a driver or carrier is caught breaking these rules (commonly referred to as DOT violations), they face penalties and fines, and their actions can jeopardize public safety.
