Which statement best describes the end-of-day processing for ELD logs?

• A. Automated approval after 8 days
• B. Logs must be approved at the end of each day
• C. Approved only when requested by DOT officer
• D. Never require approval

Answer: (B)

End-of-day processing means the driver must review the day’s ELD data, edit any inaccuracies, and certify or approve the logs for that day. This daily approval is required to finalize the records and keep hours-of-service data accurate for that 24-hour period. There isn’t an automatic approval after a set number of days, nor is approval only given at a DOT officer’s request, and logs do require approval. So approving at the end of each day is the correct practice.
