Our country and especially our trucking industry stands on the verge of bankruptcy. With this in mind you want to implement a system that would have upfront cost and then continual cost added to an already hurting industry. WHY!! For what reason do you want to do this when the current system is working so well. Why do you want to track every interstate truck in this country? This industry has proven over the past few years that safety and product delivery can work well together. It does not need any higher dollar technology to achieve good safety. I am in favor of EOBRs for those who cannot play by the rules, but the majority of the carriers and drivers are hard working Americans who are just trying to get by. They do not need any more instruments in their cabs to confuse them and cost… more »

…them money. This whole rule smacks of people backing it who would profit from the sale, installation, and mainteance of EOBR devises. How many lives do you feel this would save? I work with these people every day in the capacity of a safety consultant. They do not need any more items that will cost them money or confuse them.
I have also seen the results from these items and they are confusing, and hard to audit. The system can be easily fooled and will just cause more problems than good. « less

Welcome to Regulation Room ts safety! Thank you for your helpful comment. As a safety consultant for the industry, is there any more information you could provide about the current state of HOS compliance or other safety related information? Information about small businesses would be particularly helpful since they make up 98% of the regulated trucking industry.
