The commercial trucks were provided
with a deadline by the FMCSA to comply with the ELD Mandate by 18th December,
2017. However, the trucks that have not been incorporated with an FMCSA
compliant logging device within this time period will not be put out of service,
although they will have to face certain penalties arranged by the government. Such
vehicles when inspected by vehicle inspectors from the FMCSA may be fined and
cited towards the jurisdiction’s directions once found violating the ELD
Mandate and operating on the roads without a well functioning electronic logging device. The time period to install an electronic logging device in
the trucks had been extended to 1st April 2018; nevertheless, the
deadline still remains December 18th, 2017 and all the vehicles that
have not been compliant with this rule may encounter the legal actions taken
against them.
