Regulatory Changes

Starting July 1, 2013, new Hours of Service regulations will significantly affect drivers and operations. The updated 34-hour restart provision now allows only one usage per week, requiring two consecutive off-duty periods from 1 AM to 5 AM. Additionally, after 8 hours of driving, drivers must take a 30-minute break, which can be off-duty. Companies need to review operational impacts, particularly for drivers working over 70 hours in 8 days, and plan accordingly to maintain profitability while ensuring safety standards are met.
