President Signs Restart Rollback Bill: Here’s What The Law Requires Of FMCSA
Topic 6592 | Page 2
Since this is only a temporary rollback, I am curious how this will affect training & testing for newbies over the coming weeks and months?
I was in Orientation with Werner the last 2 days and we were all informed of the new rule as we learned the old rule in school (all of us had graduated recently). I had already read about it prior to going and was curious about the status of the Qualcoms. They said they had all been updated to reflect the new rules and all drivers were conducting themselves as such so all of us newbies who finished orientation will be as well.

All Gordon tractors Qualcomm units have updated for the new rule..
As Brett said, if they would do away with the 14 rule, life would be peachy
Qualcomm:
Omnitracs (a.k.a. Qualcomm) is a satellite-based messaging system with built-in GPS capabilities built by Qualcomm. It has a small computer screen and keyboard and is tied into the truck’s computer. It allows trucking companies to track where the driver is at, monitor the truck, and send and receive messages with the driver – similar to email.
