California has long been a leader in employment regulations aimed at protecting job applicants with criminal histories. Since 2018, the state's Fair Chance Act (CFCA) has placed significant restrictions on how employers can use criminal history when making hiring and employment decisions. Following the lead of cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles, San Diego County recently introduced its own Fair Chance Ordinance (FCO), which went into effect on October 10, 2024. This new ordinance applies to employers operating in unincorporated areas of the county, adding another layer of compliance for businesses in the region.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our nation's roadways, particularly when it comes to regulating commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. A significant step in this effort was the establishment of the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse (Clearinghouse), which tracks CMV drivers who are prohibited from operating due to drug or alcohol violations. As of November 18, 2024, a new regulation under the Clearinghouse-II final rule will take effect, creating significant changes for drivers with commercial driver’s licenses (CDLs) or commercial learner’s permits (CLPs).

Trucks, serving as the backbone of this sector, require stringent oversight to maintain compliance and ensure operational efficiency. However, traditional paper-based logbooks for tracking driver hours and regulatory compliance have become increasingly insufficient.
