Indiana attorney general urges feds to delay new trucking rule

Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill is urging federal officials to delay the implementation of a new law that would require truckers to use electronic logging devices to document their trips.

Currently, truckers have the option of using either electronic devices or paper logs to document their miles and hours of service. But effective Dec. 18, with some limited exceptions, long-haul drivers will be required to use electronic logging devices, known as ELDs.
