HOS * USA - ATA speakers encourage FMCSA to make HOS rules flexible
Louisville,KY,USA -The Trucker News Services -MAT- 27 March 2010: -- Representatives of affiliates and member companies of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) told the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) here Friday that the latest safety figures help to show the effectiveness of the current Hours of Service (HOS) rules. These representatives also told FMCSA that the rules can be improved with flexibility in the sleeper berth provision... This was the last of five scheduled around the country as the FMCSA again considers HOS changes requested by special interest groups. Usher said that the trucking industry has seen a large decline in the truck-involved fatality rate since the current HOS rules took effect. The continually improving safety figures illustrate the real-world benefits of the current rules, which are based on a decade of extensive research and analysis...
