Hours of service

Industry that follows a time-based schedule, hours-of-service rules are like putting a circle where a square should be. ELD data shows that drivers need more flexibility. FMCSA officials revealed that they were unable to determine the safety impacts of electronic logging devices. ELDs are used to track adherence to hours-of-service regulations.

Hours of service

They are tools that measure compliance with regulations that are supposed to make an impact on safety. Hours of service have proven to be important to the trucking industry . Trucking is fraught with safety-sensitive issues that can be solved with the flexibility to adjust for every different day.

A driver’s 24-hour period is not ever the same, day in and day out. There’s detention time, congestion, and truck parking. This is not a call for more hours for drivers to complete their daily tasks. It’s an opportunity to breathe some flexibility into an hours-of-service rule that could create time for drivers to adjust to the daily disruptions encountered on a daily basis.

Drivers definitely lose time searching for safe and secure truck parking. Our regulators just need to dive in and create some flexibility for our industry.
