S[ome are now sitting](http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/coconut-grove/article180916756.html) on the property of homeowners who don't own the boats, the Miami Herald reports. The question of whom will pay to remove some of these once-seafaring vessels remains unsettled, leaving the boats to decay where they sit. (Some boats are attracting rats, as the Herald notes.) From a business perspective, your property insurance will generally cover debris removal, though sublimits apply. Have coverage questions? We can help.

The [Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration](https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/hours-service/elds/electronic-logging-devices) offers numerous compliance resources on the rule, which fully takes effect in 2019.
