As of December 18th, 2017, all motor carriers will need to be in compliance with FMCSA’s new electronic logging device (ELD) regulations. There are certain exceptions to the rule, most notably the 100-air-mile radius exemption, but how will these actually affect intermodal draymen? No two intermodal motor carriers are the same, so there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Join our experts as we discuss the fundamentals of the forthcoming ELD requirements, identify potential challenges and opportunities the rule presents and review an action plan to prepare for compliance.

While veteran unemployment rates remain below the national average, roughly 200,000 service members transition out of the armed services every year.
