Title: Hours of Service of Drivers; Supporting Documents | |
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the hours-of-service recordkeeping requirements to clarify what supporting documents motor carriers must have to verify hours-of-service records. It will clarify: That the duty of motor carriers is to verify the accuracy of drivers' hours of service (HOS) and records of duty status (RODS) including automatic on-board records; that the driver's duty is to collect and submit to the motor carrier all supporting documents with the RODS; that carriers are required to maintain supporting documents with the RODS; and that a supporting document based self-monitoring system is required to be the primary method for ensuring compliance with the HOS regulations. It will propose the use of electronic documents as a supplement to, and in certain instances in lieu of, paper supporting documents in recognition of developing technologies. It will clarify the definitions of "supporting documents," "employee," and "driver," and the current requirement that each motor carrier use a self-monitoring system to verify HOS and RODS. This rulemaking is considered significant because of substantial industry interest and safety. | |
