Dear Cadec customer:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit recently issued a decision vacating the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s hours of service rules that allow commercial motor vehicle drivers to operate 11 hours in one duty period. In addition, the court threw out the FMCSA rule that allows drivers to restart a weekly on-duty period with 34 consecutive hours off duty. All other provisions of the hours of service regulations in 49 CFR Part 395 remain in effect.
The court’s decision does not go into effect immediately. There is a 45-day period before the court issues its mandate, which is an order to implement the terms of the decision. Seven days after the mandate is issued, if no stay has been granted by the court, then the decision is effective. Thus, if approved, this change is to take effect on or about September 11, 2007.
Please be assured that we at Cadec Global are aware of this ruling. Modifications are already in progress and will be tested and available by the decision date, allowing seamless compliance with these new regulations.
For additional information on the proposed rule changes, please follow this link: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/HOS-Statement.htm
