Was E-LOGS a law or mandate?

Bothish as i remember, either side would have a case because its not a clearcut case of law from congress nor fmcsa acting on its own

Congress specifically laid out a timeline for elds and then delegated the particulars to the fmcsa to study, recommend and implement the rule

 

It was part of the MAP-21 funding bill back in 2012.

 

Yes.

 

Can something be challenged after the fact if it was part of an appropriations bill? I haven’t sat at the Petro lunch counter enough to know for sure. Lol. And is there a time limit if you can, it’s been 12 years now.

 

.... it could be challenged i'd guess , but it would most likley hsve to be changed by congress telling fmcsa to drop it or change it.

 

Any legal statute law rule etc Can be challenged
Question is how far can you get?
Getting thru the lower court(s) and then gettin the Supremes to actually hear it….is difficult at best….the High Court turns down or back over 95% of the cases it receives
In the case of e-logs… that ship sailed
Remember the first time OOIDA tried to challenge The govt answer was Why??
It’s the trucking industry that pushed us to implement and you can bet that’ll be the first thing you hear
Of course the ATA and the teamsters among others will be there spouting how much safer it’s made the industry
