Indianapolis, In. — Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill is asking for a delay in rules regarding the mandatory use of Electronic Logging Devices. The devices make it easier and faster to accurately track, manage and share records of duty status. Hill says the implementation that is scheduled for December 18, 2017 would place undue burdens on drivers and operators.
General Hill particularly took issue with the new requirements’ reliance on manufacturers to “self-certify” devices as complying with government standards – with no effective procedures seemingly yet developed to provide oversight over this process.
Under the current plan drivers and operators have no way of determining which brands and models of devices will meet government standards.
Still, Hill and his office continue to make sure drivers and companies know the new regulations.
