Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee to Review EOBR Tech Specs

Next meeting of the Motor Carrier Safety Committee (MCSAC) will be October 24-27.  They are going to review the technical specifications of the EOBR regulation; 395.16. 

Why review a regulation that is pending publication?  We are fairly certain that 395.16 will be delayed from its June 2012 date.

If you are waiting for the FMCSA to clarify things before you implement an EOBR system, you're going to wait for a while.  However, we are certain that the basic framework of the EOBR technical specification will remain in tact, so a reasonably modern system (such as LoadTrek) will meet both the current (395.15) regulation and the new (395.16) regulation.
