Further Delays

1.         E-Log.  The FMCSA has pushed back the date for a final rule which will require all drivers who currently must prepare RODS to use electronic devices.  The new date for a final rule is November 9, but whenever it is issued, the rule will not take effect for 2 years.

Year End Regulatory Summary

Re:  Year End Regulatory Summary

2015 should be an active year for federal legislation and regulations. 

A highway funding bill is a top legislative priority and with the legislative gridlock of the past two years broken by the Fall election, hopefully a permanent funding bill will be produced.  As always, expect the bill to be used as a vehicle for addressing any number of regulatory concerns of which there are many.
