Hey 1Bad.
This is the summary of the rule you called me about the other day.
Comments went till some time last month. So we can expect them to start on rulemaking in the next 6 months is my guess. But we are looking at least 24 months past that before they are required.
For others, this is the proposed rule for EOBR's. His boss was asking about it.
Basicly this rule would be for drivers that are not covered under the current 100 air mile rule. And that conduct interstate commerce.


SUMMARY: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) proposes to amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) to require certain motor carriers operating commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce to use electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) to document their drivers' hours of service (HOS). Under this proposal, all motor carriers currently required to maintain Records of Duty Status (RODS) for HOS recordkeeping would be required to use EOBRs to systematically and effectively monitor their drivers' compliance with HOS requirements. Additionally, this proposal sets forth the supporting documents that all motor carriers currently required to use RODS would still be required to obtain and keep, as required by section 113(a) of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act (HMTAA). It explains, however, that although motor carriers subject to the proposed EOBR requirements would still need to retain some supporting documents, they would be relieved of the requirements to retain supporting documents to verify driving time. FMCSA also proposes to require all motor carriers--both RODS and timecard users--to systematically monitor their drivers' compliance with HOS requirements. Motor carriers would be given 3 years after the effective date of the final rule to comply with these requirements.

 

thanks chrome i passed the info along yesterday dont know if hes looked at it yet but at least 3 yrs buys some time to make some money the old fashioned way...lol;

 

The small company I'm with now is convertining to elogs. guess who got them? ME!!!! Which kinda makes sense since I just came from Werner and had them and central had them. But by october all 60 of their trucks will have them. I keep having to remind dispatch that I'm not a one man team, and I'm on electronic logs. I'm sitting in Memphis with only 12 hours left on my 70 and I don't get any hours back at midnight because my first load with these guys were on Friday the 28th.

 

Swift makes us log are on duty/drive time via the quallcom. is this going to be different?

 

Starting to get a little worried about Snowwy. It's been almost a week since I gave him directions and he hasn't been heard from since. I didn't think the directions were THAT bad!

 

i can only imagine what he's got himself into. i hope that it doesnt include mass quanities of alcohol and women in high heels.

 

found a new drink today its called a bloody bin . it consists of 2 shots and a splash of water.

 

I heard a rumour that Landstar will also be putting in the snitch!! It really sucks that the stupid ### soccer Moms are ruling the trucking industry!!!

 

What exactly does that mean? not familiar with that terminology.?.
