Transportation Department, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
FMCSA announces its decision to deny the application from the Federation of Professional Truckers (FOPT) requesting an exemption from the electronic logging device (ELD) requirements. FOPT requests an exemption to allow professional drivers the option to record their records of duty status (RODS) manually, instead of using an ELD. FMCSA analyzed the application and public comments and determined that the exemption would not achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.
