| 2019-15958 | Hours of Service of Drivers: Application for Renewal of Exemption | Notice | FMCSA announces its decision to grant WestRock's request for renewal of its exemption from the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations that prohibit drivers from operating property-carrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) after the 14th hour after coming on duty and require 10 hours off-duty before driving. FMCSA renews this limited exemption for WestRock's shipping department employees and occasional substitute commercial driver's license (CDL) holders who transport paper mill products short distances between its shipping and receiving locations on a public road. The exemption is restricted to a specific route in Chattanooga, Tennessee. This exemption will allow these individuals to occasionally work up to 16 consecutive hours and be allowed to return to work with less than the mandatory 10 consecutive hours off duty. The Agency previously determined that the CMV operations of WestRock's drivers under this exemption would likely achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level of safety that would be obtained in the absence of the exemption. | 2019-07-29 | 2019 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/07/29/2019-15958/hours-of-service-of-drivers-application-for-renewal-of-exemption | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-07-29/pdf/2019-15958.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA announces its decision to grant WestRock's request for renewal of its exemption from the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations that prohibit drivers from operating property-carrying commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) after the 14th hour after coming... |
