The Livestock Marketing Association is asking Congress to
extend the Electronic Logging Device exemption for livestock haulers.
LMA’s Jara Settles says without the waiver, the mandate would apply to livestock haulers beginning October first. But with it being an election year, she’s confident a continuing resolution would include an ELD delay.
“That would likely push the deadline back to the end of this year or possibly well into 2021.”
LMA and other livestock groups are concerned ELD regulations
don’t provide enough flexibility when transporting animals.
