Part of an article in Overdrive magazine -

One aspect of the coming electronic logging mandate that still needs to be fleshed out: Just how will the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration enforce the rule? And what will the penalty be for not complying?

Those questions are still mysteries, said former FMCSA Administrator Annette Sandberg this week at FTR’s Transportation Conference in Indiana.

Sandberg, who ran the agency in the early part of last decade, said she could see FMCSA enforcing it as “one strike and you’re out” policy.


“It’s a mandatory regulation,” she said, meaning enforcers likely will drop a carriers’ safety rating to Unsatisfactory, giving them 60 days to comply with the rule or be shut down. “A two-truck carrier might be able to do that,” she said. “But a fleet with 2,000? Not a chance. Some carriers will just throw up their hands and sell to somebody already on it. I suspect that’s what’s going to happen.”

 

More from the article -
Truck freight growth in the recovery period since the ‘08-’09 recession has been “spectacular,” said FTR analyst Noel Perry. It has outpaced growth of the U.S. economy by two to one — the opposite of the economic recoveries from the ‘91 and ‘01 recessions.

But the recovery cycle could soon play out, Perry said, which could slow freight growth in the coming years. “[The recovery] has been spectacular for freight so far,” Perry said. “But FTR is beginning to push its freight forecast down.”

 

Got a plan so I didn't get a chance to visit my Bro. In Bordentown, NJ. picking up tomorrow.

 

jdmredneck, how are you doing?

 

CARLISLE, Pa. (WHTM) – Police say a device that is used to illegally collect debit card information was found attached to an ATM at the Petro truck stop on Route 11.

Middlesex Township police said the device, known as a skimmer, was on the ATM near the front entrance.

The other ATM’s at the truck stop did not have a skimmer attached, police said.

Skimmers are used to illegally obtain debit card account numbers and the personal identification numbers, or PINs, associated with them.

The device has been removed.

Police said anyone who used that ATM should look closely at their bank statements and request a new card.
