Today we remember and honor those who were lost while serving our country.
Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸
Good information to have with the upcoming changes to hours of service rules! Read key points below or click on article to learn more.
"Based on the detailed public comments and input from the American people, FMCSA’s final rule on hours of service offers four revisions to the existing HOS rules:
1. The Agency will increase safety and flexibility for the 30-minute break rule by requiring a break after 8 hours of consecutive driving and allowing the break to be satisfied by a driver using on-duty, not driving status, rather than off-duty status.
2. The Agency will modify the sleeper-berth exception to allow drivers to split their required 10 hours off duty into two periods: an 8/2 split, or a 7/3 split—with neither period counting against the driver’s 14‑hour driving window.
3. The Agency will modify the adverse driving conditions exception by extending by two hours the maximum window during which driving is permitted.
4. The Agency will change the short-haul exception available to certain commercial drivers by lengthening the drivers’ maximum on‑duty period from 12 to 14 hours and extending the distance limit within which the driver may operate from 100 air miles to 150 air miles."

I commend to you this outstanding blog post by ATA President Chris Spear, and urge you to pass it on. The definition of “encourage” is to “pour courage into another.” Let us all adopt the phrase, “Keep calm and keep on trucking.” May this communication encourage you!

THANK YOU, DRIVERS! 🚛
The trucking industry is so important to our everyday lives, and we are especially reminded of that during times like these. Truckers are undervalued heroes that persevere in times of crisis in order to get the job done. Have you stopped to thank a trucker lately?
Stay healthy, all... and remember to wash your hands! ✨
