n electronic onboard recorder (aka electronic logging devices) rule is still slated to be proposed in November, says the Department of Transportation in its semiannual status report, released this week. The DOT says in its report that requiring e-logs would “improve compliance with the hours of service rules and thereby decrease the risk of fatigue-related crashes attributable to non-compliance…” Echoing former issuances from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the report says the rule has to establish four basic items: (1) standards for EOBR devices themselves, (2) the requirement that all drivers use them (3) requirements of supporting hours of service documents and (4) safeguards to ensure fleets and enforcement officials can’t use EOBRs to harass drivers.
