http://archive.regulationroom.org/eobr The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is proposing to require that electronic on board recorders (EOBRs) be used instead of paper logs for recording commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers’ hours of service (HOS). All long haul operations and some short haul operations would be affected. Carriers would have 3 years to comply. Also, proposed new standards would make clearer what supporting documents carriers must keep to back up drivers’ logs. EOBR-users would get a break on supporting documents.

In April 2010, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration The agency proposing the EOBR rule (FMCSAFederal  Motor Carrier Safety Administration (The agency proposing the EOBR Electronic on-Board Recorder (A device attached to commercial motor vehicles that tracks  the number of hours drivers spend on the road)  rule)) adopted a new regulation that requires motor carriers with significant violations of the Hours of Service (HOSHours of service  (Regulations issued by FMCSA that limit the number of daily and weekly hours a  CMV driver may drive)) rules to install and use Electronic On-Board Recorders (EOBRsElectronic on-Board Recorders (Devices attached to commercial motor vehicles that track the number of hours drivers spend on the road)) .  Many people and groups who commented on that regulation wanted FMCSA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (The agency proposing the EOBR Electronic on-Board Recorder (A device attached to commercial motor vehicles that tracks the number of hours drivers spend on the road) rule) to require EOBRs Electronic on-Board Recorders (Devices attached to commercial motor vehicles that track the number of hours drivers spend on the road) more broadly.  That’s what this rulemaking is about.  (In a different rulemaking, FMCSA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (The agency proposing the EOBR Electronic on-Board Recorder (A device attached to commercial motor vehicles that tracks the number of hours drivers spend on the road) rule) is proposing changes in the HOS Hours of service (Regulations issued by FMCSA that limit the number of daily and weekly hours a CMV driver may drive) rules themselves. This is NOT the place to comment on those changes.  Information about the HOS Hours of service (Regulations issued by FMCSA that limit the number of daily and weekly hours a CMV driver may drive) rulemaking can be found here.)
