• Abstract:
  Information on the current use of electronic recorders and opinions on mandatory electronic recorder use was obtained from truck and bus fleets and owner operators through the cooperation of several trucking industry associations. Due to the low response rate (12 percent), the results cannot be considered as representative of the larger population of fleets and trucks. One-third or more of responding NPTC members, and large private and for-hire fleets used electronic recorders, although only about half were equipped with HOS function. There is a clear pattern, evident in the responses received and the 1992 TIUS data, of increaisng ER use with larger fleets. ER use ranges from 0 to only a few percent in small truck fleets, among owner operators, and in bus fleets.
