Electronic On-Board Recorders * Canada - OOIDA says EOBRs won’t solve HOS issues
Grain Valley,MO,USA -Land Line Magazine (USA), by David Tanner -March 8, 2010: -- OOIDA is preparing written comments to say that electronic on-board recorders – or EOBRs – will not deliver the safety benefits or fix hours-of-service problems as some stakeholders claim. OOIDA plans to submit the comments to a project group of the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators, which is soliciting stakeholder input about the feasibility of an EOBR mandate north of the U.S.-Canadian border... The Canadian Trucking Alliance claims that an EOBR mandate would help with trucking safety and solve a number of hours-of-service issues... OOIDA Director of Regulatory Affairs, Joe Rajkovacz, calls it a fallacy that EOBRs would accurately document the hours a truck driver works because drivers are routinely forced to give up time at the docks or at other times when not in motion. This is because EOBRs only track truck movement... (Photo from JOC)
