HOS * USA: “Significant negative impacts” ... The 34-hour restart provisions

* Pennsylvania - HOS sits atop trucking’s critical issue list

-- The annual survey conducted by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) to rank trucking’s most critical issues found that hours of service (HOS) is again at the top of the list for the third year in a row... ATRI added that “significant negative impacts” on the industry from the 34-hour restart provisions first implemented in July 2013 as part of an overall of those regulations are the main sticking point for the industry... The full “top ten” critical issues list released by ATRI includes: 

  ° HOS 
° The Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) program 
° The driver shortage 
° Driver retention 
° Truck parking 
° Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs) 
° Driver health & wellness 
° The economy 
° Transportation infrastructure, traffic congestion, and funding 
° Driver distraction 

 In its own research, ATRI said it found that 80% of motor carriers indicated a loss of productivity directly attributable to the now-suspended rules, and driver pay impacts were estimated to range from $1.6 billion to $3.9 billion annually...
