WASHINGTON, August 23 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The following was released today by American Trucking Associations: RE: Clarifications to news coverage of federal Hours-of- Service rules for professional truck drivers
ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 23, 2010 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In a self-described effort to get the hours of service rules "right" for professional truck drivers, the Obama Administration missed the mark in many ways with their December 23, 2010 proposal.

This rule amends the FAA's existing flight, duty and rest regulations applicable to certificate holders and their flightcrew members operating under the domestic, flag, and supplemental operations rules. The rule recognizes the universality of factors that lead to fatigue in most individuals and regulates these factors to ensure that flightcrew members in passenger operations do not accumulate dangerous amounts of fatigue. Fatigue threatens aviation safety because it increases the risk of pilot error that could lead to an accident. This risk is heightened in passenger operations because of the additional number of potentially impacted individuals. The new requirements eliminate the current distinctions between domestic, flag and supplemental passenger operations. The rule provides diffe...

ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- In an effort to rationalize a change in federal Hours of Service (HOS) requirements for professional truck drivers, the U.S. DOT's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) misapplied its own crash numbers so as to elevate driver fatigue as a cause of truck crashes, the American Trucking Associations (ATA) said today. Without this, and several other ill-considered revised assumptions, the proposed rule would fail the statutorily required cost/benefit analysis.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 /U.S. Newswire/ -- The American Trucking Associations (ATA) issued the following statement in reaction to today's U.S. Court of Appeals (for the District of Columbia) ruling vacating the new federal Hours-of-Service regulation for professional truck drivers. The rule, which went into effect in January 2004, is administered by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). It's important for America's consumers and the marketplace to know that the Court's decision will not immediately affect our ability to deliver freight. Grocery shelves will continue to be stocked and consumer goods will continue to be delivered safely, efficiently and on time for at least the next several weeks.
FMCSA revises the hours of service (HOS) regulations to limit the use of the 34-hour restart provision to once every 168 hours and to require that anyone using the 34-hour restart provision have as part of the restart two periods that include 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. It also includes a provision that allows truckers to drive if they have had a break of at least 30 minutes, at a time of their choosing, sometime within the previous 8 hours. This rule does not include a change to the daily driving limit because the Agency is unable to definitively demonstrate that a 10-hour limit--which it favored in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)--would have higher net benefits than an 11-hour limit. The current 11-hour limit is therefore unchanged at this time. The 60- and 70-hour limits are also uncha...
