HOS Public Comment Period Ends Friday

The public comment period for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s proposed hours-of-service rule ends Friday at midnight.

FMCSA hosted a Feb. 17 listening session on the rule, at which the trucking industry criticized many of its provisions.

American Trucking Associations has urged its members to comment against the rule as proposed.

FMCSA published the proposed rule affecting truck drivers’ hours of service in the Dec. 29 Federal Register.

The agency originally set a Feb. 28 deadline for public comments, but it later pushed it back until March 4.
