Now, here comes the other argument: What about firefighters, hazmat drivers, police officers, ice road truckers and such? I will admit their jobs are dangerous, but not more than oil field trucking!

So, here are a few numbers to support my claim (taken from Forbes). An estimated 41% of ALL fatal work-related deaths were in the transportation industry! By their ranking, trucking is placed 8th, while firefighters and police officers were not even in the top 10.

Well then, what makes oil field trucking jobs even more dangerous? It is largely due to what they are hauling, which is: crude oil, refined fuel, and other gasses, all of which are combustible.

In addition, petroleum products can be very toxic and cause other health related issues. You can read the material safety data sheets to see just how much so!!Here is an example of one.

Say goodbye to using the paper logbooks for tracking Hours of Service (HOS). Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is publishing final rule of ELD mandate, most likely on November 30th. After all delays, it’s really happening this time.

It’s a major change in transport regulation and you need to get yourself ready for it. Lose all confusion and break the myths about ELD mandate.

Therefore, I’m going to answer to what ELD is, how will effect your business and clear all the buzz around it.

Let’s start.

What is an Electronic Logging Device – ELD?

It’s an electronic solution for professional truck drivers and commercial motor carriers to track Hours of Service – HOS compliance.

The new ELD have to:

• connect to the truck’s engine in order to record if the truck is in motion
• allow the driver to log in and select On-duty, Off-duty, or On-Duty Not Driving, and depending on vehicle movement drive segments must be selected automatically
• graphically display a Record of Duty Status – RODS, to make a quick look of hours easier for a driver
• provide data in a format that can be transmitted to law enforcement in a different ways, such as wireless web services or USB
• be provider-certified that the device meets the proper specifications
• be listed on an FMCSA website

Does ELD apply to me and when should I have it?

All CDL drivers, required to keep a RODS (also called HOS reports), will have to use it by 2017. There are around 3 million vehicles in this category, and 3.4 million drivers.
