| 3045568 | 924f98bb-48df-4b58-8b45-1b9c432f00e7 | Q3 | KANSAS FARM BUREAU | 21131 | KANSAS FARM BUREAU | 2023 | third_quarter | TRA | Kansas Farm Bureau supports agricultural exemptions to the hours-of-service rules and regulatory relief for farmers, ranchers and agricultural haulers. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administrations (FMCSA) hours-of-service (HOS) requirements limit the time a commercial motor vehicle driver may be on duty to 14 hours and driving to 11 hours. However, agriculture and livestock haulers face unique circumstances due to the perishability of their products. Full implementation of the Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) requirements in February of 2022 created a dramatic shortage in rural school bus drivers as well as commercial trucker drivers who transport agricultural products. Farmers and ranchers are dependent on commercial truckers to bring input products to their region and haul bulk commodities raised on the farm and ranch to other commercial locations. The lack of truck drivers, and a growing difficulty to replace them, adds additional burdens and costs to the agricultural supply chain. | Agriculture, Dept of (USDA),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE,Transportation, Dept of (DOT) | 40000 | 0 | 0 | 2023-10-06T12:15:44-04:00 |
