A bill filed May 23 in the U.S. House would permanently exempt trucking companies with 10 or fewer trucks from compliance with the electronic logging device mandate.

Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) and Greg Gianforte (R-Mont.), the Small Carrier Electronic Logging Device Exemption Act is the first attempt in Congress at specifically exempting independents with as many as 10 trucks from the ELD mandate. The filing came more than five months after the mandate's Dec. 18 compliance deadline and nearly two months after the mandate's April 1 hard enforcement date.
