HOS Regulations: Rule Changes are coming

Transportation Secretary, Elaine Chao announced that the DOT intends to propose a rule that would change federal HOS regulations for truck drivers. Because the rule is still under review, Chao was unable to provide too many specifics. She stated that “The Department understands the strong interest in increasing flexibility and is giving it serious consideration.” The Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) was sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in March. Drivers should be aware that announcements of these changes could take months, as many members of the OMB were furloughed during the partial government shutdown, creating a backlog of work.
