As a fleet safety/compliance director, I have seen the
increase of how FMCSA is trying to not only protect the
general public but also to protect the driver. Driver's are
never paid overtime, but work up to 70 hours per week. I
see the need to ensure that these drivers are not working
over the 70 hours by ensuring that dispatch is aware of
what the driver is actually doing (not just by what they are
turning in). In essence, it would help fleet management to
ensure they are running a lean machine and that each
driver gets a piece of the pie. Each driver's responsibility
would be that when he gets moving, he gets moving. When
it's time for a break, he breaks. There would be no calls to
Safety because the driver was put out of service due to him
being out of hours as the system would notify the driver of
his time running out. They still have the ability to exceed;
however, the alerts would then go to the driver as well as
dispatch immediately. I am pro EOBRs and for those
opposed due to the cost - there are cheaper alternatives
that can accomodate all.
