Despite some ideological differences, several interests are united in asking the United States Court of Appeals to once again review the Federal Motor carrier Administration's HOS regime... The Owner-Operator and Independent Drivers Association, which filed its court challenge earlier this year, is now joined by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Truckload Carrier's Association, as well as the Ohio and California Trucking Associations, which have also filed "motions to intervene" in the petition for review...

That eight-hour rest period stops the 14-hour maximum on-duty clock.
