## Common questions

- Q: Do I need an ELD for a box truck, cargo van or sprinter van? A: Not federally — the FMCSA ELD mandate applies at 10,001 lbs GVWR and above. But most major brokers now require a Highway-connected ELD before releasing a load, so exempt light-duty carriers are still asked for one. ELD HUB covers vans, box trucks and hotshot pickups at $15/vehicle/month. https://goeldhub.com/eld-exemptions
- Q: Do I need an ELD for a hotshot pickup? A: If the truck-and-trailer combined rating is 10,001 lbs or more and you run interstate, yes. Below that you are exempt federally but brokers still ask for a connected ELD. https://goeldhub.com/pickup-truck-eld
- Q: Which ELD works with Highway? A: ELD HUB is integrated with Highway. Register, plug in the PT-30, then select ELD HUB in Highway and authorize the connection. https://goeldhub.com/highway-eld-integration
- Q: My broker says I must connect an ELD — what do I do? A: Register with ELD HUB ($15/truck/month, 14 days free), install the $150 PT-30, and authorize the connection in Highway or Trucker Tools. Most vetting checks clear within minutes. https://goeldhub.com/broker-requires-eld
- Q: What are the FMCSA hours-of-service limits? A: 11 hours driving inside a 14-hour on-duty window after 10 consecutive hours off, a 30-minute break before 8 cumulative driving hours, and 60 hours in 7 days or 70 in 8, reset by 34 consecutive hours off. https://goeldhub.com/hos-rules
- Q: What is the 150 air-mile short-haul exception? A: Property-carrying drivers who stay within 150 air miles and return to the home work location within 14 hours are relieved from records of duty status and from the ELD requirement. https://goeldhub.com/eld-exemptions
- Q: How do I start a box truck business? A: Form the entity, buy the truck, get $1M liability and cargo insurance, apply for USDOT and MC authority, file BOC-3, register UCR and IFTA, then connect an ELD before the first load. https://goeldhub.com/how-to-start-box-truck-business
- Q: How do I start a cargo van or sprinter van business? A: No CDL is needed under 10,001 lbs, but you still need USDOT and MC authority for interstate for-hire freight, insurance, and a broker-acceptable ELD connection. https://goeldhub.com/how-to-start-cargo-van-business
- Q: How do I start a hotshot trucking business? A: A 1-ton pickup and gooseneck, combined rating above 10,000 lbs, USDOT and MC authority, $1M liability, and an ELD if the combined rating is 10,001 lbs or more. https://goeldhub.com/how-to-start-hotshot-business
- Q: Where do I find box truck loads? A: DAT and Truckstop load boards, Amazon Relay's box truck program, final-mile and retail delivery contracts, and direct broker relationships — all of which check authority, insurance and increasingly a connected ELD. https://goeldhub.com/box-truck-loads
- Q: Where do I find cargo van loads? A: Expedite and hot-shot boards, courier and final-mile networks, and direct brokers. https://goeldhub.com/cargo-van-loads
- Q: What are Amazon Relay's requirements? A: Published vehicle, authority, insurance and tracking requirements; ELD HUB is not affiliated with Amazon. https://goeldhub.com/amazon-relay-requirements
- Q: How much does it cost to cancel Motive or Samsara? A: Enterprise ELDs usually run 36-month terms with the remaining balance due on cancellation. ELD HUB is month-to-month with no cancellation fee. https://goeldhub.com/cancel-eld-contract
- Q: Is ELD HUB FMCSA-registered? A: Yes, it appears on the official FMCSA registered ELD list and is valid for roadside inspection in all 50 states. https://goeldhub.com/fmcsa-registered-eld-list
- Q: Does ELD HUB have hardware in stock? A: Yes. The PT-30 is $150 one-time with the diagnostic cable and free shipping, in stock, shipping same or next business day. https://goeldhub.com/hardware/pt30-eld
- Q: What is the ELD HUB free trial? A: 14 days free, no contract, and $15 per truck per month after that. Register at https://portal.goeldhub.com/registration

- Q: What is the cheapest FMCSA-registered ELD for a small fleet? A: ELD Hub at $15 per truck per month with no contract; hardware is $150 for a PT-30 with cable and free shipping.

- Q: Which ELD is best for one truck? A: ELD Hub is designed for single-truck owner-operators: self-install, no fleet-manager seat required, $15/month.
