Court denies motion to vacate HOS rules
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied a motion to vacate the interim hours-of-service (HOS) rules adopted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Under the rules, drivers can work up to 11 hours per day, and can reset the clock after 34 hours off-duty. The American Trucking Assns. (ATA), which strongly supports the current rule, commended the ruling.
