Jan 14, 2008 11:02 AM
Motor carriers are strongly encouraged to file comments with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) by February 15 on the agency's interim final rules on hours or service, advises the American Trucking Associations (ATA).
FMCSA issued the interim final rule with intentions to retain intact the 11-hour daily driving time limit and 34-hour restart. The agency has called for comments and plans to issue a final rule in regards to these provisions during 2008. ATA has developed two documents, a model letter and a supplemental guide that are posted online at truckline.com
For more information, contact Dave Potts, ATA director of safety and operations, at dpotts@trucking.org or telephone 703-838-1848.
