Q. What information will ELDs be required to collect?
A. ELDs are required to record the following data elements
A. Yes, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is considering making a number of changes to the hours of service (HOS) rules. The soon-to-be-published Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) also known as a “pre-rule” was announced on August 21. HOS rules that may be revised include, expanding the 100 air-mile “short haul” exemption, extending the current 14-hour on-duty limitation under certain circumstances, revising the mandatory 30-minute break rule, and reinstating the option of splitting up off-duty rest breaks for drivers operating trucks with a sleeper-berth compartment. The ANPR can be viewed in its entirety here. (https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hours-service-advanced-notice-proposed-rulemaking) There are a number of ways your company can submit comments identified by Docket Number FMCSA-2018-0248, including: • The Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.com (follow the online instructions for submission) • Mail: Docket Management Facility, U.S Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, West Building, Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-0001 • Hand Delivery or Courier: West Building, , Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except on Federal holidays • Fax: 202-493-2251 • Submissions containing confidential business information (CBI): Mr. Brian Dahlin, Chief, Regulatory Evaluation Division, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590 To avoid duplicate comments, it is requested that submissions be in only a single format, e.g., online or mail. Full details and submission instructions are available in the ANPR. While a deadline for submission has yet to be announced, it will be 30 days after publication in the Federal Register.
