EROAD, a global technology provider of fleet management, electronic tax reporting and ELD compliance solutions for the transportation industry, recently provided “valuable and relevant data” to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, which is seeking public comment regarding changes to Hours-of-Service regulations under consideration.
Based on its analysis of ELD data and a survey of customer and other fleet operators, it was found:
- A 30-minute rest break is the most common violation, followed by 14-hour duty limit, 11-hour driving limit and on-duty limit.
- The proportion of violations by type has remained fairly consistent since the mandate was introduced.
- Average time spent in violation is reducing overtime.
- The number of violations per driver is increasing for 11-hour driving limit and 14-hour duty limit violations.
