ATA Conducting Hours-of-Service Survey

This decision, which has not yet gone into effect, will likely result in a renewed rulemaking process by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and could result in a transition back to the old HOS rules during this process.

To avoid unintended safety consequences and unnecessary costs to the trucking industry that could result from a transition back to the old rules, ATA will be urging the court to issue a “stay” of its decision. If granted, a “stay” would allow the new rules to remain in effect for a limited period of time during FMCSA’s rulemaking process.

The information requested in this survey will enable ATA to more effectively demonstrate to the court potential safety and cost implications of transitioning back to the old HOS rules.

Between this survey and whatever else the government and ATA has up their sleeves will prevent another “rule making process” and we can get back to driving and be done with this nonsense.
