| 2017-14377 | Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for Exemption; MBI Energy Services | Notice | FMCSA announces that MBI Energy Services (MBI) has requested an exemption from the requirement that a motor carrier install and require each of its drivers to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to record the driver's hours-of-service (HOS) no later than December 18, 2017. MBI requests the exemption for all of its vehicles equipped with a single-passenger cab, which are used in applications where travel is incidental to normal work activities and which require special oversize/overweight permits to travel on public roads. These vehicles are classified in the State of North Dakota as Special Mobile Equipment (SME). According to MBI, single cabs have reduced space for installing rough-terrain-capable automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs) or ELDs. MBI believes that the exemption, if granted, would not have any adverse impacts on operational safety, as drivers would remain subject to the standard HOS limits and maintain a paper record of duty status (RODS). The term of the requested exemption is 5 years. FMCSA requests public comment on MBI's application for exemption. | 2017-07-10 | 2017 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2017/07/10/2017-14377/hours-of-service-of-drivers-application-for-exemption-mbi-energy-services | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2017-07-10/pdf/2017-14377.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA announces that MBI Energy Services (MBI) has requested an exemption from the requirement that a motor carrier install and require each of its drivers to use an electronic logging device (ELD) to record the driver's hours-of-service (HOS) no later... |
