| 2019-17810 | Hours of Service of Drivers | Proposed Rule | FMCSA proposes amendments to its hours-of-service (HOS) requirements to provide greater flexibility for drivers subject to the HOS rules without adversely affecting safety. This would be accomplished by altering the short-haul exception to the record of duty status (RODS) requirement available to certain commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, modifying the adverse driving conditions exception, increasing flexibility for the 30-minute break rule by requiring a break after 8 hours of driving time (instead of on-duty time) and allowing on-duty/not driving periods as qualifying breaks from driving, modifying the sleeper berth exception to allow a driver to spend a minimum of 7 hours in the berth combined with a minimum 2-hour off-duty period, provided the combined periods total 10 hours (rather than the current 8/2 split), and allowing one off-duty break that would pause a truck driver's 14-hour driving window. | 2019-08-22 | 2019 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/08/22/2019-17810/hours-of-service-of-drivers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-08-22/pdf/2019-17810.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA proposes amendments to its hours-of-service (HOS) requirements to provide greater flexibility for drivers subject to the HOS rules without adversely affecting safety.
