GHOSTRUCK Act

Key Points

• This bill changes the rules for electronic logging devices that track how many hours truck drivers spend on the road. It allows trucking company employees to help fix or update these digital records under specific conditions.
• To prevent people in other countries from interfering with American trucking records, the bill requires that anyone making an edit must be physically located in North America. This is meant to stop remote tampering by groups outside the country.
• Truck drivers still have the final say over their own records. Any change or note made by a company employee must be approved by the driver before it becomes official.
• The goal is to make sure driving logs are accurate while protecting drivers from being forced to work more hours than the law allows. It tries to balance office help with safety protections for people behind the wheel.
