Congress suspends restart provision on trucker hours of service

摘要

Washington - Truckers no longer will be subject to a 34-hour restarl provision that includes a pair of rest breaks between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m. Congress agreed to suspend the restart provision pending further research as part of a $1.1 trillion spending bill that was approved Dec. 13. The effort to suspend the provision was led by Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who said mandatory rest breaks ending at 5 a.m. could push too many trucks onto crowded roads during the early rush hour.
