In a write-up of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) new rule prohibiting interstate truck and bus drivers from using handheld cell phones, Politico notes that “this little bit of rulemaking is good news” for ZoomSafer. The new regulation penalizes individual drivers with fines and commercial driver’s license suspensions – but it also holds employers liable for ensuring their drivers comply with the regs. Employers face fines of up to $11,000 for employee cell phone use violations.

While FMCSA has not yet made recommendations on *how* companies can ensure compliance, ZoomSafer”s FleetSafer distracted driving solutions offer commercial fleet operators simple, affordable tools for enforcing employee cell phone use policies.
