Action:
Renewal of exemption; request for comments
Summary:
The FMCSA announces its decision to renew Werner Enterprises,
Inc.'s (Werner) exemption from the Agency's requirement that drivers of
commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) operating in interstate commerce
prepare handwritten records of duty status (RODS). Werner has requested
that its exemption be renewed so that it may continue its practice of
monitoring the hours of service (HOS) of its drivers by means of GPS
technology and complementary computer programs. Werner proposes in this
application that the terms and conditions of the current exemption
remain in place for a second two-year period. The FMCSA believes that
with the terms and conditions in place, Werner will maintain a level of
safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety that
would be obtained by complying with the requirement for a written RODS.
