Is Changing the Hours of Service Rules the Real Answer to Highway Safety?

An excellent article from Fleet Owner Magazine. Former Administrator John Hill is quoted; "I am a little surprised that there’s not more focus on a effort to mandate EOBRs [electronic on board recorders] as that technology would do a lot more to improve highway safety than just changing the current 11-hour drive time limit back to 10 hours. I think EOBRs is where we need to go to really improve safety.”

That's something you LoadTrek.net users already know. Perhaps they should interview safe and successful fleets who effectively use solid technology?
