JBS Carriers, a commercial trucking company based in Greely, Colorado, has been ordered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to install electronic onboard recorders in its fleet of over 700 trucks by March or pay nearly $82,000 in civil fines. A FMCSA investigation revealed serious violations of federal hours-of-service (HOS) rules and commercial driver's license requirements. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood commented, "We will not tolerate commercial carriers that put people at risk by placing unsafe, unlicensed drivers behind the wheel and evading hours-of-service rules."
