Trucking industry slams FMCSA’s proposed electronic ID mandate.

Almost all of the trucking industry has rejected a proposal requiring fleets and owner-operators to equip their trucks with a new electronic identification system.​


The advance notice of proposed rulemaking issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in September responded to a request by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance. Those pushing this cray idea contend that establishing a universal electronic vehicle identifier for all commercial motor vehicles would boost safety by improving how roadside inspectors target unsafe vehicles and drivers.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration 49 CFR Part 390 [Docket No. FMCSA-2022-0062] RIN 2126-AC54 Unique Electronic Identification of Commercial Motor Vehicles AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) and request for comments. SUMMARY: FMCSA requests public comment on whether the agency should amend the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations to require every commercial motor vehicle (CMV) operating in interstate commerce to be equipped with electronic identification (ID) technology capable of wirelessly communicating a unique ID number when queried by a Federal or State motor carrier safety enforcement personnel. In response to a petition for rulemaking from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), FMCSA is considering such amendments to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the roadside inspection program by more fully enabling enforcement agencies to focus their efforts at high-risk carriers and drivers. DATES: Comments on this notification must be received on or before [Insert date 60 days after date of publication in the FEDERAL REGISTER]. ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by Docket Number FMCSA-2022- 0062 using any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to Regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
