TSCRA Government Affairs Roundup: FFA Day at the Captiol and ELD mandate comments


TSCRA staff participated in FFA Day at the Capitol and discussed advocacy with the attendees.
TSCRA also submitted comments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration on hours of service and electronic logging devices for drivers of commercial motor vehicles. The comments conclude, “We again urge the Agency to grant a waiver and limited exemption from the ELD mandate while definitions such as the “source” of agricultural commodities are solidified. This delay will enable FMCSA and the live animal hauling industry to undertake necessary training and outreach to fully understand and apply existing flexibilities and how they function with the new ELD devices.”
