ELD comment period ends June 26
Following a request by the Commercial
Vehicle Safety Alliance, the Federal
Motor Carrier Safety Administration
extended the comment period for its
proposed electronic logging device
mandate 30 days to June 26.
The rule would require all truck
drivers who currently must keep re-
cords of duty status to use an electronic
logging device, formerly known as an
electronic onboard recorder.
After the comment period
ends, the agency will begin
work on a final rule, which
likely will be published later
this year. The effective date of
the rule will be two years after
publication, meaning the ELD
mandate could go into effect as
soon as late 2016.
Comments can be made
online at regulations.gov using
Docket No. FMCSA-2010-0167
