For this Overdrive Radio edition, a bit of a special preview of a special report dropping this coming Monday, July 10. It's called “Trucking's State of Surveillance” and follows Overdrive's surveying of our owner-operator, small fleet and company driver readers about remote monitoring- and/or tracking-capable technologies used in the business. We asked readers assess the techs they use -- from smartphones and ELDs to truck and trailer telematics and various permutations of monitoring video cameras -- and rate what's being given up in costs and/or being gained in benefits. Reporting around those results yielded plenty in the way of how working owner-ops and other truckers view how techs are changing the trucking business and culture, as monitoring goes well beyond just fleets today and sits squarely in other business-to-business relationships with brokers and others. But all of that reporting also followed attorney and academic Karen Levy's book "Data Driven: Truckers, technology, and the new workplace surveillance," in which Levy tells the story of trucking during a time of transition, before and after federally mandated electronic logging devices came into play in late 2017. The book leans heavily on in-depth interviews with working drivers, and boatloads of other research besides, including leaning in part on Overdrive's own chronicling of the ELD transition over the last decade and more. Our own Long Haul Paul Marhoefer early on in 2023 suggested interviewing Karen Levy. That was well before we began work on the special series of features you'll find Monday on the state of surveillance in the trucking business (the link to the anchor story will be live Monday July 10): https://www.overdriveonline.com/15541635 Full results of our State of Surveillance survey of Overdrive's owner-operator readers: https://www.overdriveonline.com/home/document/15541779/state-of-surveillance That interview with Karen Levy eventually did happen, and is certainly integral to what's a big report in seven parts. Marhoefer and Levy, in this episode, take us back to the initial inspiration for the book with FMCSA's first feints toward an e-log mandate more than a decade ago. The talk touches on added stress around hours accounting, added pressure on drivers of all stripes from supply chain parties, and dovetails with Overdrive's reporting from late last year on crash-statistics since the mandate, too: https://www.overdriveonline.com/csas-data-trail/article/15301876/crashes-injuries-and-fatalities-up-posteld-mandate At a fundamental level, Levy noted, truckers know the problems they face -- detention and parking, how they're entertwined with making the hours of service regulations as onerous as they can be for many -- and that they're all fundamentally problems of economy, of finances, of just compensation for the time put in. All of the time put in. For all the rancor that the ELD mandate engenders, and all the technological intrusiveness it's in some ways enabled, ELDs can play a role in that just-compensation fix. But as Levy has it, they're certainly no panacea, much less any kind of magic safety tool.

This edition of Overdrive Radio picks up where Overdrive News Editor Matt Cole left on in his reporting from mid-late October around truck-involved crash statistics in the four years prior to, and the four years after, implementation of the FMCSA's electronic logging device mandate, which began in earnest right at the end of 2017: https://www.overdriveonline.com/csas-data-trail/article/15301876/crashes-injuries-and-fatalities-up-posteld-mandate As many listeners and Overdrive readers have likely seen, Cole's reporting illustrated clearly the generally higher rates of crashes post-mandate, even considering the 2020 year when statistics were way down with the big decline in motorist highway traffic amid the fear and uncertainty of the early COVID pandemic. So there's a definite correlation between regulatory change in the ELD mandate and those negative safety impacts, but can we really determine there's a cause there? Hard to say, given so many factors go into the cause of any crash, not least among those causal factors the “unprofessional” driving behavior of our four-wheeled friends. Just refer back to the 2020 year noted just earlier for evidence of that. The question of cause and effect around the ELD mandate, though, is certainly a conversation starter for Overdrive's owner-operator audience. Attendant to Cole's reporting, we surveyed owner-operators, and the overwhelming majority feel the mandate has at least contributed to safety-negative effects. In this podcast, hear a variety of viewpoints on the cause-and-effect question, both from contributing reporting from video editor Lawson Rudisll surveying owners about the ELD mandate and any safety connection, or lack thereof, and Matt Cole's own interviews for the broader picture. We can't count Michigan-headquartered small fleet owner Bud Davenport among the majority who see some safety impact from the mandate, exactly. Yet Cole's talk with Davenport is instructive when it comes to the state of play for driver training that other owners feel has been exacerbated by the mandate. As referenced in the podcast, for some relief from the ticking-clock pressures of the 14-hour rule, the 2020-changed split sleeper allows for some mid-duty-period rest without losing duty time.

Listen to this new episode of the “Eyes on the Road” trucking podcast as we discuss the results of this study with Andrew Balthrop, research associate at the University of Arkansas. He talks with host Evan Lockridge about why some groups in trucking had more crashes after the ELD mandate took effect, how the devices greatly reduced one type of hours of service violation, and more.

In March 2020, you awoke to find that the government deemed you essential or nonessential. Over-the-road (OTR) haulers, or truck drivers, were deemed essential. But as the arrival of healthcare workers was celebrated with fire engine parades, truck drivers were spared recognition and told to shift into overdrive and deal with peeled back restrictions, including letting drivers with learner's permits drive without their Commercial Drivers License (CDL) and changing hours of service guidelines so truckers could drive longer than they would be allowed to otherwise. In other words, truckers were directed to stretch themselves, and not just absent parades, but in a landscape of closed waysides, truck stops, restaurants -- while being told to stay in their cabs when picking up or delivering their cargo. Being a trucker before the pandemic meant choosing a profession under-appreciated by the public. During the pandemic, finite truckers were unfathomably treated as expendable. IN THIS EPISODE. Doc interviews former trucker Jonathan Burger to discuss the state of OTR haulers before the pandemic, at the onset of the pandemic, and now in 2022. Jonathan will talk about OTR haulers access to toilet facilities, restaurants, and places to park when they sleep. In addition, Jonathan will bring awareness to lesser known aspects of trucking including new Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandates, negative behaviors within the trucker workforce, hazard pay (lack of), and lumpers. Doc and Jonathan consider how government and society might better demonstrate appreciation from truckers - the seemingly forgotten essential workers. ABOUT JONATHAN BURGER. Jonathan Burger has a YouTube channel focused on Second Amendment activism/advocacy. His channel is called Guns N BBQ as he periodically tosses in content about his hobby of barbecuing. He is a former armed security officer and corrections officer turned truck driver. Jonathan drove truck for just over 5 years before going blind. Shortly after losing his vision he decided to start a YouTube channel. Jonathan remains well-connected to the OTR hauler community and understands the lesser-understood nodes along the OTR hauler network. PRE-2020 STATE OF TRUCKING. Jonathan reminds us that the trucking industry had challenges prior to the pandemic. Overnight parking was particularly difficult to find and even booking ahead didn't necessarily secure a spot for the rig. Fewer businesses were allowing truckers to park in their lots due to the poor behavior of some in the industry who would leave behind trash. IMPACT OF 2017 ELD MANDATE. On January 23, 2022, Grace Dean of Business Insider wrote an article titled: Truckers say an electronic device that measures the hours they drive each day sometimes leaves them stranded just 30 minutes from home. While truckers had maintained paper logging records for decades, electronic logging devices went into effect in 2017 for most rigs. The logs track when truckers drive and take breaks, but the system is inflexible. Jonathan offered an example of a trucker taking a break in the parking lot near a warehouse. A few minutes into the mandated break, someone asks the driver to move his truck to the end of the lot, perhaps a hundred feet away. When the truck begins to move, the ELD resets the break. Ultimately, the purpose of ELDs was to prevent fatigued drivers from being on the roads - so ELDs make sense, but in their current incarnation, they seem to be too restrictive. PANDEMIC RELAXED TRUCKING RULES WITHOUT SUPPORT TO TRUCKERS - LUMPERS CASH IN AS DRIVERS TOLD NOT TO UNLOAD THEIR FREIGHT. On March 13, 2020, the US government made an emergency relief declaration that allowed OTR drivers with expiring licenses to continue working, eliminated the 30-minute break requirement during 11 hours driving, and relaxed the 60/70-hour rule. However, neither federal or state governments took action to support truckers. Arizona opened two shuttered waysides with limited hours - so that was at least something. But, no hazard pay for truckers, no National Guard deployed to keep open waysides and supply food, showers, and basic care to truckers. County fairgrounds could have been temporarily opened for truckers, right? There were no hero parades for truckers - even as wait times increased for truckers to unload and they were told to stay in their rigs, cubed away from the world. BROWN BAG BOOST CAMPAIGN. Doc and Jonathan pondered items that might go into a brown bag that would be given, as a sign of support, for truckers at waysides or scales. Items included a thank you note, chunky soup, socks, plastic utensils, and 3D printed air vent diffusers. FOLLOW DR.

The title of this Overdrive Radio podcast sounds a little like the set-up for an inside-baseball joke of sorts, but for owner-operator Mike Landis and Ezlogz head and former owner-op C.J. Karman, that day was a serious one indeed. Directly and indirectly in a variety of ways, its culimination of the three-week Mayday-begun protest vigil outside the White House has had material effects in terms of getting the conversation going around enforcement and potential enhancement of the 49 CFR 371.3 transparency requirement for brokers when other parties in a freight transaction request it. Here, Landis and Karman nonetheless narrate the story of how the two came to be on the same page in talks over the issue with the White House chief of staff in May 2020. FMCSA recently extended the comment period on three petitions and the transparency regulation in general through November 18.

This edition of Overdrive Radio features Overdrive Senior Editor James Jaillet's conversation with Northeastern University academic Alex Scott, who with colleagues at Michigan State and the University of Arkansas completed a recent study around potential safety-sensitive impacts of the electronic-logging-device mandate. The upshot, which you know if you saw the headlines, is that a comparative analysis of various carrier size groups, average weekly crash volumes, and hours of service violations, among others, showed that, while hours violations were down quite a lot for small carriers, there was little change in crash volumes before and after the mandate was being fully enforced in any size grouping. If anything, average weekly crash volume ticked up a bit for those most directly affected by the mandate – the smallest of fleets. It all seemed to lend at least a little further credence to the notion that the mandate, ultimately, might not be about safety at all, also the widely held contention that the hours of service rule could use some work to reintroduce flexibility for professional truckers in how they utilize available hours, within limits.

AsktheTrucker "Live' Open Forum-ELD Exemptions and Federal Authority Provisions Saturday June 2nd 6PM EST Call in 347-826-9170 The discussions continue as truckers move full steam ahead addressing the 2 most pressing issues in the industry today. ELD mandate and the Federal Authority trucker wage provision. The ELD Mandate Exemptions H.R. 5948 H.R.5948 - To exempt motor carriers that own or operate 10 or fewer commercial vehicles from the electronic logging device mandates, and for other purposes The Anti-Trucker Wage legislation to be voted on in the Senate this month. The Federal Authority provision known as the Denham Amendment or F4A , which if passed in the 2018 FAA Reauthorization bill and THUD bill ( they are currently in both House versions), would minimize and limit trucker wages by way of a New Federal Law  

A U.S. House subcommittee has expressed some displeasure with how the ELD mandate was implemented, including how it affected truckers. Mark Reddig discusses that, plus a congressman’s letter urging an ELD exemption for small-business trucker, with Nile Elam of OOIDA’s Washington, D.C., office.

The effects of ELD mandate on Trucker Health & Safety 4-5-18 Thursday 6PM et 347-826-9170 The ELD mandate is causing an uproar among the truck driving community, ELD's are designed to enforce the FMCSA Hours-of-Service rule by synchronizing a vehicle engine to automatically record a truckers' driving time.The purpose is to increase highway safety by ensuring drivers do not drive more than their 11 hour limit or work more than their 14 hours allowed. Although the use of the ELD theoretically sounds like a great way to reduce driver fatigue, prevent employers from pushing their drivers to drive over their hours, prevent drivers from "cheating" on their log books ( to get more miles), and increase overall safety, there are MANY who disagree and believe the ELD mandate works in reverse and is actually detrimental to overall highway safety.  Tonight we'll address opposition to the ELD mandate and discuss why truckers are feeling rushed to beat the 14 hour clock and how it affecting their health and livelihood. Our guest Carolyn O'byrne, author of Gut Instinct and founder of LifeCoachService.net, will help explain the health risks when people feel continually pressured to do their job well while trying to earn a decent living.

Dave Nemo and Tim Aschoff talk about the in's and out's of bid season in the trucking industry, what effect the ELD Mandate has had on customers, and gives some insight into the company and customer relationship.

George Muha describes how the recent ELD Mandate is impacting freight rates and creating more of a capacity crunch in the freight industry.  

The ELD mandate has only been in effect since yesterday and already we’re hearing reports of problems and issues. Terry Scruton talks about some of those, plus what’s being done about them with OOIDA’s Director of Security Operations Doug Morris.

The ELD mandate for the trucking industry goes into effect Dec. 18. Mark Reddig discusses the latest on the situation with Joe DeLorenzo, director of the office of compliance and enforcement at FMCSA.

Voices from the December 4 anti-ELD mandate rallies held across the country as well as from the Overdrive Radio podcast message line as the temperature continues to be raised by many in the trucking community against the electronic logging device mandate. If nothing changes, enforcement of the requirement for most interstate truckers to use ELDs will begin Dec. 18.

Tim Aschoff and Chris Hilkemann talk about the basics of the ELD Mandate, tackle some of the myths and misconceptions, and answer driver questions.

in this video I discuss why we have over regulation in trucking. when you get your CDL people expect perfection. Commercial driver's license is it just a license we're still human.

As ripple effects continue to emanate from some sense of camaraderie among many anti-ELD-mandate partisans -- a result of protest efforts around the country a week or two back -- this Overdrive Radio podcast runs through some of the various conversations had during Overdrive Senior Editor Todd Dills' few days in D.C. as the efforts there got under way. The podcast rounds out with more messages on the podcast line taken over the course of the protest week as many shut down.

Chris Hilkemann, VP of Risk Management and Associate General Counsel, talks about some of the updates that will be made to your units before the ELD Mandate goes into effect.

Truckers have gathered in Washington, D.C., to ask Congress and the DOT to delay or overturn the upcoming mandate for ELDs in trucks. Mark Reddig gets a first-hand report from OOIDA Director of Security Operations Doug Morris, who’s on the ground in our nation’s capital.

Rounding up sounds and some news from the grassroots influence campaign on lawmakers/protest against the ELD mandate in Washington, D.C. An interview after Day One with Tony Justice, and a bevy of responses on Overdrive Radio's podcast call-in line from around the country, among other news. A small group of demonstrators, meanwhile, as the podcast was wrapping up, were meeting with FMCSA officials at DOT headquarters.

It's been quite a while since the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration had an administrator appointed to head it up, but this week, the news was that Ray Martinez had been tapped for the role. Career bureaucrat Martinez, currently serving at the head of New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission, should focus, say Overdrive readers, on a bevy of hours of service-related issues, in addition to other concerns voiced in this mailbag edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast, compiled from responses prompted via OverdriveOnline.com. What's your view on where FMCSA's eventual new administrator should put his focus?

Two unaffiliated groups -- Tony Justice and company's ELD or Me, and the Texas-headquartered Operation Black and Blue -- share details for ELD mandate protests coalescing around a beginning date of October 3. Owner-operator Erick Engbarth, not involved in either effort, distills his anti-ELD rationale. Will you participate in protest efforts 10/3 through the rest of that week? Tell Overdrive why or why not via: 530-408-6423. With any message, let us know your name and base location.

After an introduction by trucker/singer-songwriter Michael Lochmiller, listen in on Overdrive Senior Editor Todd Dills' discussion of roadside enforcement of the ELD mandate set to go into effect in December -- with Sergeant Dana Moore of the Texas DPS, who urged officers to 'punt' to administrative review in questionable situations and get the driver on his way. Todd Amen of ATBS, further, delivers news about economic conditions broadly for trucking, a bit of good news in recent months as load-to-truck ratios on the spot market have spiked.

Chris Hilkemann and Tim Aschoff discuss the upcoming ELD Mandate and take driver questions on Road Dog Trucking with Mark Willis.

Progress continues on efforts to delay the ELD mandate for two years, as more and more truckers call their representatives. But more are needed to make the effort succeed. Mark Reddig talks with Collin Long of OOIDA’s Washington, D.C., office.

A bill introduced earlier this week in the U.S. House would delay the deadline to install an electronic logging device by two years. Mark Reddig discusses the ins and outs, as well as the ultimate goal, with OOIDA Executive Vice President Todd Spencer.

The Supreme Court announced that they will not hear OOIDA's appeal to the ELD Mandate. This shouldn't be a surprise. The Federal Government ruled in favor of the Federal Government. You shouldn't be shocked that this has happened, yet many seem unable to grasp the concept that the Federal Government doesn't care about you. Let's talk about the real issue here, and it ISN'T the ELD. 

OOIDA receives a setback in the fight against one bad regulation, but declares victory over another. Terry Scruton finds out more from OOIDA’s Director of Government Affairs Mike Matousek.

The ELD Mandate is just aroung the corner! It's time to start looking for way to be comliant. First let's talk about the rule and what it requires, then let's talk about the hundreds of solutions out there! Whether you're in agreement or not, the entire industry only has a little time left to find an ELD solution, so let's help each other find one!Your comments and questions are what this show is all about, so press "1" on your keypad at any time to get on the air!

It was a packed house in the South Wing seminar room Friday, March 24, for FMCSA's electronic-logging-device-implementation seminar for owner-operator and driver attendees at the Mid-America Trucking Show. FMCSA representatives LaTonya Mimms and Danielle Smith here walked attendees through the basics of ELD use and adoption, where the rule hits the road.

Following Halloween news that the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected OOIDA's arguments against the FMCSA's electronic logging device mandate, readers weighed in on their views relative to the court decision, ELDs in practice broadly, and the hours of service, which several noted were the bedrock problem.

Oral arguments in the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association's lawsuit against the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's December 2015-released electronic logging device mandate proceeded September 13, 2016. Arguing for the association, Paul D. Cullen Sr. in this audio released by the Chicago-based 7th Circuit Court of Appeals lays out the basics of OOIDA's case, and Department of Justice attorney Joshua Waldman defends the U.S. Department of Transportation.

In this Overdrive Radio podcast edition, Senior Editor Todd Dills answers a few ELD-mandate-related question and rounds up commentary coming in on the podcast line: 530-408-6423. Commentary has reflected fairly strong opposition to the mandate by and large, with as much as 85 percent of readers -- in a poll still ongoing at OverdriveOnline.com -- noting they'd do what they could to avoid running with an electronic log of any kind. Half said they'd rather retire or look for another line of work if they couldn't avoid it with the short-haul exception under the hours of service rules or a pre-2000 truck. Such trucks are notably exempt from the requirement. Find Overdrive's complete coverage of the mandate via this link: http://overdriveonline.com/tag/electronic-logs
