Siding with the Owner Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), the 7th U.S. Court of Appeals overturned the FMCSA’s mandate of EOBR use by trucking companies. The court ruled that the FMCSA mandate does not properly protect drivers against harassment by the trucking companies. The court did not address OOIDA’s compliant that the agency did not demonstrate the benefits of the technology. You can read more about the ruling in The Journal of Commerce or Transport Topics. The American Trucking Associations supports the EOBR mandate and expressed disappointment in the ruling.
