Plain-English Summary

Truck drivers and their employers would be allowed to make corrections or add notes to electronic logging device records (the digital systems that track driving hours) as long as the person making the change is physically in North America and the driver approves the edit. This change would make it easier for drivers and companies to fix mistakes or clarify information in these records while maintaining oversight through driver approval. The rule currently restricts who can modify these records, so this would loosen those restrictions.
