FMCSA Emergency Declaration

March 17, 2020 03:31 PM By Chrissie

Exemption for motor carriers and drivers providing direct assistance in support of relief efforts related to the COVID-19 outbreaks

Fleetilla appreciates the vital support that the trucking industry is providing on the frontlines of this COVID-19 pandemic and wants to keep all of you in compliance with the FMCSA. 


If you have drivers that qualify for the recent exemption from Hours of Service, as defined in the EMERGENCY DECLARATION UNDER 49 CFR § 390.23 No. 2020-002,  you will need to enable “Exemption” in the driver configuration screen within FleetFACTZ for each driver.  Drivers do not have the access to manage this themselves.  When enabled, all ELD output files will reflect Exempt. 


Once the driver resumes activity outside the defined Emergency Declaration, you will need to disable the “exemption” status. 


Details below on where to find the Exemption status within the Driver configuration 

As your ELD provider, Fleetilla is committed to maintaining our full support of our trucking clients. Please let us know how we can help you.
