I know, I’m still wound up about this mandatory EOBR rule, which won’t be effective for another 2 years. Nevertheless, here is an article from a website called Purchasing.com.
In it, the OOIDA estimates the EOBRs will cost $2,000 annually. Annually? I’m not sure of that, I’m sure there will be some type of subscription fees per unit, but $2,000? Then further down the article, the transportation manager at True Value states installing and maintaining the EOBRs for his over 300 unit fleet cost, over 5 years, $1.5 million. So, that’s around $5,000 per truck, over 5 years. The True Value manager does say he thinks the investment is well worth it.
