Eight years of legal battles are over - the hours of service regulations are going to stay. The FMCSA this morning released their final rule concerning commercial drivers' hours of service regulations - section 395.
John Hill, FMCSA administrator said "There have been procedural rules that have been identified by the court. We are properly addressing the concerns of the court, I feel confident that moving forward is the best public policy at this time.”
Drivers, shippers, carriers, and enforcement officers do not have to learn yet another set of rules. In my opinion, that is good news.
We have one more ruling we are waiting on regarding hours of service, the revision to the twenty year old electronic onboard recorder (EOBR) regs.
