CVSA Statement
CVSA gave its statement regarding the deadline of putting the commercial motor vehicles out of service after April 18, 2018:
“The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance supports moving forward with the compliance date as specified in the rule. However,
setting an April 1, 2018 effective date for applying the ELD out-of-service criteria will provide the motor carrier industry,
shippers, and the roadside enforcement community with time to adjust to the new requirement before vehicles are placed
out of service for ELD violations.”

The trucks found without a compliant ELD or grandfathered AOBRD device after December 18, 2017 are being fined and the
companies that continually violate the rule can be subject to federal investigation as well. The enforcement officials or
roadside inspectors are exercising discretion in issuing citations since December 18, 2017. The FMCSA Field Administrator
Jon Dierberger said that ELD citations would not affect the SMS (Safety Measurement System) ranking.
