Semi-truck drivers took part in a slow roll protest around I-465 midday Thursday in reaction to a nearly 14-month-old requirement that truckers use electronic devices that monitor the hours they work and, drivers say, eat into their pay.
The event involving dozens of drivers came as federal regulators are considering changes to rules that dictate when and how long drivers can be on the road.
Drivers began gathering at 8 a.m. at meeting points around Indianapolis. The protest around I-465 started around 11 a.m. and was set to last about two hours.
