Daily Document Update: HR Compliance Library, ¶46,310, Comment period opening on proposed truck driver HOS changes - COMMENT OPPORTUNITY, (Aug. 23, 2019)

摘要

The 45-day comment period on the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s proposed hours of service (HOS) rule for commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers is set to open on August 22, according to a notice of proposed rulemaking slated for publication in the Federal Register that day. Key changes proposed. The FMSA unveiled the proposed rule a week ago, pointing to five key potential revisions to existing HOS rules: 1. Increasing safety and flexibility for the 30-minute break rule, by tying the break requirement to eight hours of driving time without an interruption for at least 30 minutes, and allowing the break to be satisfied by a driver using on duty, not driving status, rather than off duty.
