Insight and advice on hours-of-service changes going into effect at the end of the month from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's chief enforcement official, Joe DeLorenzo.
As of Dec. 17, most motor carriers are required by federal law to use electronic logging devices, or ELDs, to track truck driver hours of service.
