How the potential gold mine of ELD data could hurt you
The precision and quantity of ELD data available after the mandate could, combined with a new safety-rating scheme, give on-site auditors an extra-effective tool for declaring a carrier Unfit on the basis not only of uncovered hours violations, but also moving violations.
July 12, 2016
Moving violations totals have been falling the last two years in the federal system, according to Overdrive’s most recent analysis. However, with a decline in overall violations, the national average of moving violations as a share of all violations, 4.6 percent, held steady between 2014 and 2015. As shown here, speeding accounts for the majority of moving violations in all the most intense states for traffic enforcement but for North Dakota, where speeding violations are less than half of the total.

The Houseā€™s Appropriations Committee has sent to the full House a Department of Transportation funding package that would permanently restore 2011 regulations pertaining to truckersā€™ use of a 34-hour restart. The bill also would halt the DOTā€™s work on its proposed Safety Fitness Determination rulemaking and would prevent states from enforcing any state-enacted laws governing truckersā€™ breaks and pay.

U.S. Senate passes bill that could change hours of service regulations
The two outcomes are (1) return to 2013-enacted rules governing truckersā€™ 34-hour restarts or (2) a return to 2011 restart rules, albeit with a new 73-hour cap on the amount of hours truck drives can remain on duty in a seven day period.
