Against HOS - USA - Public Citizen Sues Again on Rule & Teamsters Join, Legal Challenge to FMCSA
USA -Transport Topics News -27 Feb 2006: -- Five groups including Public Citizen and the Teamsters union filed suit in federal court Monday against federal truck driver hours-of-service rules, challenging the rules on safety grounds... The five asked the court to review the final HOS rule issued Aug. 25 by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, and said the rule’s provisions on how many hours truckers may drive before taking a break is flawed and should be changed to help reduce fatigue-related crashes... The legal challenge is separate from a similar suit by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, filed in late January, against the rule’s sleeper-berth provisions... The current HOS rule allows drivers to be behind the wheel for 11 hours in a 14-hour period... Prior to 2003, drivers could drive for 10 hours in a 15-hour period, but could log on and off duty during that time, thus interrupting their time allotments...
