FMCSA to Publish AOBRD Guidance

On May 12, 2014, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will publish guidance on two issues involving roadside inspection of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) equipped with automatic on-board recording devices (AOBRDs). The guidance addresses display requirements and clarifies that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) do not require AOBRDs to provide a hardcopy printout roadside. This guidance supersedes previous Agency interpretations and regulatory guidance on the issues addressed. The guidance will be effective upon publication.
