CUT THROUGH THE CLUTTER, CONFUSION, CONCERNS AND CONSTERNATIONEver since the wheels of government churned out the 126-page DOT Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Final Rule for Electronic Logging Devices (ELD) and Hours of Service (HOS) Supporting Documents as published in Volume 80, Number 241 of the Federal Register on Wednesday, December 16, 2015, the wheels of the trucking industry have been slowly grinding toward ELD implementation. Some industry estimates indicate that approximately 75% to 80% of large fleets and perhaps 20% to 25% of small to medium fleets have already complied. The compliance percentage likely remains just above single digits for independent owner-operators and somewhat higher for owner-operators dedicated to a fleet. Following are some tips and suggestions that may help you accelerate your decision-making process and on-boarding plan.ELD Rule’s Deep RootsWhat began inauspiciously during 2012 when the United States Congress enacted the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century” bill—commonly referred to as MAP-21—has turned into a rather long and complex entanglement that may, as of this writing, be on the road to the Supreme Court.

That bill, which also outlined the criteria for highway funding, quietly included a provision requiring the FMCSA to develop a rule mandating the use of ELDs.An ELD is simply defined as a device that electronically records a driver’s Record of Duty Status (RODS). ELDs are intended to replace the industry-standard paper logbooks—that are as comfortable to many as a favorite pair of shoes—for recording drivers’ compliance with Hours of Service (HOS) requirements. Like it or not, it’s time to begin looking for a new pair of shoes, if you haven’t already.The ELD rule is based on a series of previous rulemaking events, each updating, clarifying or building upon its predecessor. Many drivers and fleets are already using Automatic On-Board Recording Devices (AOBRDs) to reduce paperwork.

These devices must automatically record a driver’s duty status and any changes in status, as well as the amount of time the vehicle is operated. If requested by law enforcement, drivers must also be able to immediately present the required AOBRD display information for the current day plus the previous seven. When AOBRD grandfathering ends on December 16, 2019, all drivers must be using a device that is on the FMCSA-approved list.3-Phase TimelineKey dates start with the December 16, 2015 Publication Date in the Federal Register. The Effective Date of February 16, 2016 was set 60 days after the rule’s publication. The December 18, 2017 Compliance Date is two years from the publication date. The Full Compliance Date is set for December 16, 2019. Using the above dates as reference points, the ELD rule is being implemented in three phases:Phase 1: Awareness & Transition – The two-year period following publication of the ELD rule February 16, 2015 to December 18, 2017.

During this time, drivers and carriers subject to the rule should prepare to comply, and may voluntarily use ELDs.
