Statement from OOIDA Latest on Hours-of-Service

Response to FMCSA sending final hours-of-service rule to the Office of Management and Budget

“We applaud the Agency for submitting the final rule to OMB so quickly. As FMCSA continues to move forward with HOS reform, we are optimistic the final product will create meaningful reform that provides drivers with more flexibility and control over their schedules. Any final rulemaking must give drivers the choice on if and when to use the proposed provisions, should entirely eliminate the required 30-minute break, and expand the split sleeper-berth options beyond just 7/3. If FMCSA gets it right, we’re confident most drivers will be happy with the changes.”
