The trucking industry now requires all trucks to have an electronic
logging device (ELD) as per FMCSA regulations to keep track of hours
of service. Are there any self-hosted solutions out there? I feel like
there should be but I’m not able to find anything for now. Do any of
you guys know about any?

I don't know enough about the regulations to say for certain, but it
seems like [Traccar](https://github.com/traccar/traccar) was made for
this.

This does certainly not comply to any legal regulations for trucks,
but if you want something like a self hosted Google Location history
there is also the Android Phone track app and Nextcloud Phone track
server.

If this is designed for meeting legal requirements, there will be a
requirement that the hardware and software be certified as fit-for-
purpose. An open-source project is unlikely to be able to get through
certification, which is always expensive.
