FMCSA ELD Mandate: Final Ruling on Electronic Logging Devices

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently released the final ruling on mandating electronic logbooks for commercial vehicle drivers working in the U.S. It also applies to truck and bus drivers from Mexico and Canada who cross into the U.S. and operate a commercial vehicle.

The US federal government’s regulations mandating the use of Electronic Logging Devices, also known as Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRs), in trucks are expected to take effect sometime next year. Once it does, all carriers and drivers governed by the federal Hours-of-Service rules must be in compliance within two years of the 2015 effective date.
