The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has posted to their website today the following: 

“In accordance with the Fiscal Year 2024 Continuing Resolution, Public Law 118-15 (Sept. 30, 2023), transporters of livestock and insects are not required to have an electronic logging device. The statutory exemption will remain in place until further notice. Drivers do not need to carry any documentation regarding this exemption.”

The notice is posted here: Livestock and Insect Haulers | FMCSA (dot.gov). The National Aquaculture Association recommends long-haul, commercial motor vehicle aquaculture livestock haulers print out and provide this notice to their drivers to be carried with them while on-the-road.
