Legislation targets ‘loophole’ on altering HOS records

Two Republican House members have introduced a bill to close what they call a dangerous loophole in federal regulations allowing Electronic Logging Device (ELD) records to be altered from outside the U.S., which could compromise safety and compliance. This move underscores the growing concern over data integrity in transportation and aims to ensure that record-keeping remains accurate and secure. The legislation highlights a broader effort to tighten regulations around commercial trucking to prevent any manipulation that could endanger road safety.
