HOS
and electronic logs: fleets hold lead
By Wendy Leavitt, director of editorial
development
It may be back to “go” for the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Hours of Service (HOS)
rules that would have required the use of electronic logs for some
carriers,. But many fleets have been moving ahead to take full advantage
of the benefits EOBRs (electronic onboard recorders) can deliver
anyway—whether a regulation will mandate the use of EOBRs with
electronic logging capability or not.
