As you may have heard, they did not vote in September on the e-logs. Supposedly they will vote in October, which will bring the 2-year compliance date up to October 2017.
One great thing I read today, published by Matt Cole at Overdrive is that FMCSA agrees that the driver should be able to amend e-logs prior to submitting them. This new action will be effective whenever the compliance date comes about.

Don't forget to contact your state's senators about the 30 minute break. It really sucks.
This blog is going to compile information, links, and a whole lot of attitude on how to help CDL drivers deal with DOT, CSA. amd FMCSA. Trucking used to be a profitable and fun job. The Government now rules when you can take a shit, and how much time you have to wipe your ass. The general public, 4-wheelers (car drivers), need to know about these rules too. After all, the FMCSA is creating more tired drivers now than ever.
OOIDA
OOIDA (Owner Operators Independent Drivers Association) is the only lobbyists truckers have in Washington DC.
They support drivers. They go to bat for us, even on local levels, and against trucking companies who screw drivers.
Please support them. I think there membership is only $45 a year, and they send you the LandLine magazine which is packed full of great info, comments, and stories.
