Is RAND McNally ELD dead web site is down since Monday

Sounds like karma bit those no-customer-service clowns square in the butt. Ha Ha! I wonder how much Garmin paid the hacker...

 

why would the FMCSA be involved.....?

 

Weather, traffic & fuel prices still down

 

If their systems are still down that would probably indicate problems with their disaster recovery plans. They may be building out the remaining systems fresh. Some heads will roll in the IT department.

 

While true heads will roll I worked in IT before moving to trucking. I can almost guarantee you the CTO and every one below him has a paper trail requesting money to implement systems to prevent exactly this. And of course that money was denied because "everything works"
One of the biggest complaints from IT people I talk to is not getting the money to do a correct backup/recovery plan

 

all fmcsa did was certified that their edl met the standards to record hos...

so what should the fmcsa do....??

 

FMCSA didn't even do that much. They allowed the companies to self certify.
