TORONTO - On the heels of its recent release of proposed changes to the US federal hours of service standard for drivers of heavy trucks, the US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today released its long-awaited notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on electronic on-board recorders (EOBRs) to monitor their drivers’ compliance with federal hours of service regulations. And, no one should be surprised that the NPRM proposes a broader EOBR mandate. There have been several indications that a broader mandate was coming and that’s exactly what was announced today. (In April 2010, FMCSA issued a notice of final rule that mandated EOBRs for interstate carriers with serious hours of service compliance issues. Many groups and some in the industry in the US said at the time that the rule, which was developed by the previous administration, was not broad enough.)
