The ELD Final Rule Has Finally Arrived
It's been a long time coming but the ELD Final Rule has officially been released by the FMCSA. In a press release dated December 10, 2015, the FMCSA announced that the new ELD mandate will result in savings of over $1 billion dollars in paperwork and is projected to save 26 lives and prevent 562 injuries on an annual basis.
It also stated that an estimated three million drivers nationwide will be affected by this new legislation.
A copy of the full release from the FMCSA is available online, which also details the specific requirements of the ruling.
