FMCSA taking comments on industry-wide ELD exemption
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is taking public comments on a request for an industry-wide exemption related to electronic logging devices (ELDs).
The agency’s move opens a formal comment period where drivers, carriers, and other stakeholders can weigh in before FMCSA decides whether to grant the exemption and, if so, under what terms.
ELDs are required for most commercial drivers who must keep records of duty status, and the rule is a central part of how hours-of-service compliance is tracked across the industry.
FMCSA’s request for comments matters to drivers because an industry-wide exemption could affect how logs are recorded, what documentation is required, and how enforcement plays out at the roadside.
No additional details about the specific exemption request were provided in the information available.
