LOGGING ONWARD: Fleets brace for the long-awaited regulation on electronic logs

摘要

After navigating through hours-of-service revisions in 2003 and 2005, the trucking industry is preparing for a long-awaited rulemaking in 2006 on electronic onboard recorders (EOBRs). One of the greatest concerns among drivers and carriers is the privacy of data. Many drivers believe EOBRs will give carriers and law enforcement officials far more information than they need to enforce laws and regulations. Many carriers also have similar worries and are concerned over misuse of data in litigation. And privacy is just one worry for fleets (See "ATA conditionally backs EOBRs," CCJ, November 2005).
