DOT Projects EOBR Rule Release in December

The Department of Transportation said last week that it expects to publish in mid-December its follow-up proposal to require more fleets to use electronic onboard recorders.

DOT said it should publish the rule on Dec. 17. The agency previously projected issuing the rule on Dec. 3.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration recently issued a final rule requiring carriers with poor hours-of-service compliance to use an EOBR but said that future regulations could require more fleets to use the device.
