Third Round * USA - Groups seek overturn of HOS
Consumer, safety and labor groups have petitioned a federal court for permission to pursue a third round of litigation to overturn hours of service
Washington,DC,USA -eTrucker, by Jill Dunn -4Sept 2009: ... On Aug. 27, the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, Public Citizen, the Truck Safety Coalition and the Teamsters sought review of the hours-of-service rule in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia... The organizations asked the court to vacate and remand the HOS the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration made effective in January. The FMCSA had adopted as final 2007 provisions of the HOS interim final rule. The groups charge the agency failed to consider the health consequences of letting truckers work more hours... In 2007 and in 2004, the same court overturned previous HOS decisions in favor of the petitioners... The Union of Concerned Scientists and the Society for Occupational and Environmental Health are among the organizations supporting the petitioners as a friend of the court... The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, the American Trucking Associations, the national Chamber of Commerce and the National Industrial Transportation League are among those who have intervened for the defendant...
