10/28/2009 - FMCSA Pledges to Revise Bush Administration HOS Rule
The Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration has signed an agreement with safety and labor groups pledging to review and revise the previous administration’s Hours of Service rule permitting truckers to drive 11 hours at a stretch … and reducing rest-and-recovery time from 50 or more hours to as few as 34 hours. The agency says that a new rule will be proposed within nine (9) months.
Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood stated, “We believe that starting over and developing a rule that can help save lives is the smart thing to do.”
