| 2020-11469 | Hours of Service of Drivers | Rule | FMCSA revises the hours of service (HOS) regulations to provide greater flexibility for drivers subject to those rules without adversely affecting safety. The Agency expands the short-haul exception to 150 air-miles and allows a 14-hour work shift to take place as part of the exception; expands the driving window during adverse driving conditions by up to an additional 2 hours; requires a 30-minute break after 8 hours of driving time (instead of on-duty time) and allows an on-duty/not driving period to qualify as the required break; and modifies the sleeper berth exception to allow a driver to meet the 10- hour minimum off-duty requirement by spending at least 7, rather than at least 8 hours of that period in the berth and a minimum off-duty period of at least 2 hours spent inside or outside of the berth, provided the two periods total at least 10 hours, and that neither qualifying period counts against the 14-hour driving window. | 2020-06-01 | 2020 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/01/2020-11469/hours-of-service-of-drivers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2020-06-01/pdf/2020-11469.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration | 492,181 | FMCSA revises the hours of service (HOS) regulations to provide greater flexibility for drivers subject to those rules without adversely affecting safety.
