Industry Tackles Hours-of-Service Issues
Congress currently is negotiating two provisions related to truck driver hours-of-service requirements.
The first involves the omission of technical language in the fiscal 2016 funding law that essentially would eliminate the 34-hour restart provision of the Hours-of-Service Rule if a congressionally mandated study of the restart provision fails to show safety benefits.
The second relates to states’ authority to impose mandatory rest and meal breaks on top of federal hours-of-service regulations.
