New report says owner-operators ill-prepared for December ELD mandate

摘要

WITH THE DEC. 18 DEADLINE for mandatory electronic logging devices (ELDs) fast approaching, there's concern that a majority of the 3.5 million affected trucks have yet to procure or install the required devices. While many large truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) fleets have been using these devices for years, shippers should be concerned that smaller fleets and owner-operators are behind the curve on this. In fact, a new report finds that this delay in compliance is bound to cause a shake-up, and a possible capacity crunch, for the industry in the coming months.
