FMCSA takes to the road to explain ELDs

As the deadline — Dec. 18 — for the mandatory use of electronic logging devices draws near, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is offering several opportunities to learn exactly what’s required.

FMCSA personnel will hold information meetings across the country to discuss with drivers what’s expected of them and the equipment. Experts will be on hand to answer questions and there will be what the FMCSA calls “an interactive exhibit booth, where they will have access to consumer-friendly resources and materials.”

Event dates and locations include:

• July 13-15 – Iowa 80 Truckstop Jamboree (Walcott, Iowa)
• Aug. 24-26 – Great American Trucking Show (Dallas)
• Sept. 25-27 – North American Commercial Vehicle Show (Atlanta)
• Oct. 14-15 – California Trucking Show (Ontario, California)
• Oct. 21-24 – American Trucking Associations Management Conference & Exhibition (Orlando, Florida)
• Nov. 6-8 – Women in Trucking Accelerate! Conference & Expo (Kansas City, Missouri)
