The document summarizes the key regulations that apply to medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicle operators. If a vehicle weighs over 10,001 pounds or transports hazardous materials, and operates on public roads, the carrier is subject to regulations regarding safety, drivers, hours of service, and vehicle maintenance. Drivers of vehicles requiring a commercial driver's license must also follow CDL and drug testing rules. Carriers are responsible for ensuring compliance and can face penalties if roadside inspections or audits find violations by the carrier, drivers, or vehicles.
The document discusses various automotive safety standards including AIS, FMVSS, and CMVR. It provides details on 6 standards under each category:
AIS standards cover areas like starting gradeability, lighting requirements, battery safety, speed limiting devices, type approval process, and truck body construction.
FMVSS standards include controls and displays, windshield wiping/washing, tire and rim selection, hydraulic/electric brakes, side impact protection, and rear impact guards.
CMVR rules discuss mandatory seatbelt usage, rules for foreign drivers, prohibiting dangerous vehicle positioning, and passenger door requirements.
Vehicle homologation is the process of approving a vehicle's components and systems to ensure safety, quality, and environmental standards before sale. In India, all vehicle components like lamps, mirrors, tires, and engines are tested. Then the fitting of components and various vehicle systems like braking and emissions are tested. Finally, a whole vehicle test is conducted to approve the vehicle for sale. The Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) plays a key role in testing electric vehicles, batteries, motors, and chargers according to various AIS standards to ensure safety and performance. Standards are important for EVs to ensure safety as their use increases and provide quality and access to markets.
Sgt. Mark J. Abrahamson discusses commercial vehicle regulations in Wisconsin. He notes that many intrastate carriers do not understand or comply with applicable Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). These include regulations around driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle inspection and maintenance. For carriers operating vehicles over 26,000 pounds, most FMCSRs apply including parts around drug and alcohol testing, driver qualifications, hours of service, vehicle parts and inspection, and hazardous materials. Compliance with these regulations can reduce crashes by over 20% and help carriers avoid large liability costs.

Your Compliance Manual to OSHA's 300 and 300A FormsHNI Risk Services
Most businesses will need to post their OSHA Form 300A from Feb. 1 through April 30. This document communicates with your people your OSHA recordable incidents for the previous year — that's work-related injuries and illnesses. Failure to meet this requirement could result in big fines for your organization. Also, unprecedented upcoming OSHA regulations may require you to submit your company's OSHA 300 log information directly to OSHA- how might this impact you?
With OSHA's final ruling on requiring employers submit injury and illness data electronically, significant changes will need to be implemented by the effective date of December 1, 2016 to ensure compliance in this changing area.
This webinar will touch on when you must submit your electronic records to OSHA, the implications of OSHA posting your injury records, and how the new ruling impacts your reporting procedures and employee accountability.
This document provides an overview of electronic logging devices (ELDs) and the ELD mandate. It discusses recent court rulings upholding the mandate. It then covers what is required by the mandate, how ELDs impact insurance, expectations for ELD providers and solutions. It contrasts open vs closed system architectures and provides a technical overview of ELD configuration. It discusses popular ELD providers, factors to consider in selection and anticipated costs. In summary, the document is a guide for trucking companies to develop an ELD strategy and implementation plan in preparation for the December 2017 deadline.
Wondering what is new with regards to the Federal Motor Carriers and the State Patrol? Want to know the latest in enforcement and direction of these agencies? What are the “hot buttons” for the roadside inspectors? Are officers being trained on electronic log devices?
Join us for an informative event featuring representatives from these two organizations and learn about the newest FMCSA and DOT issues affecting the transportation industry.
Presentations will include detailed insights on FMCSA regulations, ELDs, and roadside inspections to name a few. As an owner or top manager for your company it is essential that you are knowledgeable in this area.
If you are a large employer under the ACA (50 or more FT or FTE employees) or your plan is self-funded, join us for an informative webinar on Internal Revenue Code Sections 6055 and 6056.
With our partners at HR Workplace Services, we’ve prepared this briefing to spell-out important employer responsibilities for the filings as well as all the information you should be collecting to adequately prepare these reports.
An Employer Guide: DOL's New Overtime Exemption RulesHNI Risk Services
In May 2016, the Department of Labor announced revised regulations which affect the Fair Labor Standards Act’s “white collar” overtime exemptions. The new regulations increase the salary threshold needed to qualify for overtime exemption from $455/week ($23,600 per year) to $913/week ($47,476/year).
The DOL has made its first major revision to the long-awaited ruling on overtime exemption rules since 2004. This major change will result in many employees gaining eligibility for overtime pay and force employers to make difficult decisions regarding their employees who have now become overtime eligible.
This presentation will provide an overview of the Department of Labor’s new overtime exemption rules including the new salary requirements for exempt employees, options for compliance, and re-classifying employees who are no longer exempt. Are you ready for the December 1, 2016 deadline?

Examples of potential coercion include punishing drivers for refusing loads by decreasing opportunities, pay, or hours.

The goal is to ensure drivers are not coerced into violating safety regulations.
