SUMMARY:
Background
Old Dominion, USDOT 90849, reports
that it is an interstate motor carrier
based in North Carolina with 228
Service Centers located throughout the
country. Its operations cover the entire
continental United States. The company
is one of the largest less-than-truckload
carriers in the country, operating a fleet
of more than 8,500 power units and
employing more than 10,100

commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers.
Old Dominion applied for an
exemption from the ELD requirements
to allow the company to install ELD
devices running on automatic on-board
recording device (AOBRD) software in
CMVs added to the company’s fleet for
up to one year from the December 18,
2017, ELD mandate compliance date. If
granted, this modified ELD phase-in
period would have allowed Old
Dominion’s AORBD/ELD provider,
PeopleNet, to complete the development
of the software necessary to integrate
ELD data with the company’s fleet
management and safety systems to fully
meet the ELD mandate. FMCSA
considered the request to be on behalf
of all motor carriers in similar situations
concerning the integration of
PeopleNet’s ELD software into fleet
management systems. On January 31,
2018, FMCSA published a Federal
Register notice of Old Dominion’s
application for exemption and asked for
public comment (83 FR 4548). On
March 12, 2018, by letter, Old Dominion
asked to withdraw its application for the
requested exemption. The letter of
withdrawal is in the docket for this
notice. The Agency accordingly accepts
Old Dominion’s request to withdraw its
application and closes the docket of this
matter.
