Hours of service update

Recent statements by Joe Clapp, administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, indicated that the publication of a revised hours-of-service proposal may occur within six months. He also indicated that the rule would be split into two proposals: one that would contain the non-controversial elements of its previous proposal and the second would contain the more controversial proposals.

Virtually all aspects of FMCSA's previous hours-of-service proposal were the subject of intense public criticism. Although some issues, such as black boxes, can easily be put into the controversial category, it is too soon to say what the FMCSA considers non-controversial about its proposal.
