ZoomSafer Publishes Guide to Complying with FMCSA Handheld Cell Phone Ban
HERNDON, Va. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Effective today, a new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) rule prohibits an estimated four million commercial truck and
bus drivers from using handheld cell phones while driving. Under the new
rule, individual drivers face civil penalties up to $2,750, while
employers can be held liable and fined up to $11,000 per infraction
committed while drivers are carrying out company business or otherwise
acting on the employer's behalf.
To help commercial fleet operators understand and conform to the new
regulation, ZoomSafer, the leading provider of software to prevent

Cell Phone Use Regulations: A Guide to Compliance for Truck and Bus
Fleets.
"FMCSA has made it abundantly clear that employers are responsible if
their employees violate the rule," said ZoomSafer CEO Matt Howard. "This
new white paper offers commercial fleet operators a detailed explanation
of the handheld phone ban and guidance on how to measure and manage
employee compliance."
