DOT Issues Rule Requiring Electronic On-Board Recorders, Will Consider Broader Mandate this Year

The new EOBR rule, which is all over the news, has two parts; a requirement for carriers with 10% or more HOS violations, and a complete revision of the technical requirements. The new rule goes into affect on June 1, 2012.

The new regulation was published this morning in the Federal Register.

The requirements for those carriers who must install EOBR's is very clear. Those who install EOBR's voluntarily will receive relief from most supporting documentation requirements. EOBR's currently in use that comply with the current rules will not comply with the new rules. Check with your vendor to see what their plans are to comply with the new rules.
