Driver coercion and harassment are still very common across the transportation industry. It’s so much of an issue that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released the Prohibiting Coercion of Commercial Vehicle Drivers (Coercion Rule) in January 2016. Additionally, the ELD Final Rule includes anti-harassment measures to help protect drivers. Here’s a breakdown of what coercion and harassment is and how technology can help you prevent it!
We’re less than 18 months away from the effective date of the ELD mandate. Commercial drivers in the United States will soon be required to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to create their driver logs.
In December 2015 the FMCSA started the clock on a 2 year window for ELD compliance. There is still a lot of confusion and concern over what the ELD mandate is going to mean for the average carrier. To help provide a bit more information on the steps you need to take, BigRoad CEO Terry Frey delivered our ELD – The Path to Compliance webinar. Below is a recording of the webinar and the answers to the questions we had.
We are 18 months out from the effective date of the ELD mandate when most commercial drivers in the United States are going to be require to use an electronic logging device to create their driver logs. While this may sound like a lot of time it is becoming more and more important that fleets start to earnestly plan what their transition plan will be.
With this in mind BigRoad recently ran Transitioning to ELD | What Are Your Next Steps? a webinar designed to help fleet operators and drivers alike plan for the future. We have found in many of our conversations about ELDs that there is a lot of misinformation still being passed around. From who qualifies to be exempt to what the specifications for an ELD are, we answer some of the most common questions and concerns about the mandate. You can watch a recording of the webinar below.
