Welcome to 2018: Are You Toeing the Line with FMCSA and CARB Regulations?
Deadlines are looming, and some have already passed.
The fines and penalties extend into the thousands of dollars when Federal and State trucking standards are violated.
Are you aware that:
- The Federal Motor Carrier Association (FMCSA) Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandate went into effect December 18, 2017. The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) declared April 1, 2018, the effective date for placing commercial motor vehicle drivers out of service if their vehicles are not equipped with compliant ELDs.
- The California Air Resources Board (CARB) Particulate Matter (PM) Phase-In option was available to large fleets that wanted the flexibility to decide which vehicles needed DPF retrofits and replacements to meet the PM filter percentage requirements. Any credits associated with this phase-in requirement expired January 1, 2018.
