FMCSA considering ELD exemption from ‘inactive’ trucker

Mar 01, 2024 at 12:21 PM CST

Arbert Ibraimi, a Chicago-area owner-operator, is requesting that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration relieve him of the ELD requirement until Oct. 9 because buying an ELD “is virtually only practical for companies that have multiple CMV’s,” he wrote in his October 2023 application, posted by FMCSA on Thursday. Ibraimi stated he would use paper logs to record his hours of service in the meantime.
