EOBR Rule * USA - FMCSA Chooses Strictest Electronic Recorder Option
Washington,DC,USA -TruckingInfo, by Oliver B. Patton -2 Feb 2010: -- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration opted for the strictest rule, which will go into effect June 1, 2012, says carriers that violate hours of service rules 10 percent of the time, based on single compliance review, must use electronic onboard recorders to track driver hours... The stricter rule will affect close to 5,700 interstate carriers after its first year of implementation, compared to the approximately 1,000 carriers that would have been targeted under the lesser option... Both groups of carriers have a crash rate that is significantly higher than the industry average, the agency said. Carriers that violate hours rules 10 percent of the time in two compliance reviews have a crash rate 90 percent higher than the general population. Those that break the 10 percent barrier in just one review have a rate that is 40 percent higher than the general population... As an incentive to promote voluntary use, the agency will no longer require supporting documents related to driving time, such as toll receipts, for carriers that install recorders. Also, carriers that use recorders will get more liberal compliance review procedures...
