New Department of Transportation Rules

By Anonymous -
New DOT rules, intended to reduce truck driver fatigue, went into effect July 1. The new rules limit the maximum average workweek for truck drivers to 70 hours (from 82); allow truck drivers who reach the maximum 70 hours to resume work if they rest for 34 consecutive hours, including at least two nights of rest between 1 - 5 am; and require truck drivers to take a 30-minute break during the first eight hours of a shift.
