Hey, I hope all is well. I wanted to reach out because my friends brother Attar Mann is missing. He driving a load somewhere on I90 in Idaho/Montana and no one has heard from him in over 30 hours. There was a storm out that way yesterday. If you happen to know anyone in the area or any groups that I could post the information in please let me know or pass on.

DOT makes hours reforms final, new regs will take effect later this year. A federal rule to overhaul the hours of service regulations that govern truck drivers’ schedules will soon be published in the Federal Register, the U.S. DOT’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced Thursday. Of note, the rule expands the split-sleeper berth options afforded to drivers to allow them to split their 10-hour off-duty period into windows of seven hours and three hours..., in addition to the existing eight-hour/two-hour option. Unlike current regs, the shorter window in any split of off-duty time will not count against drivers’ 14-hour on-duty clock. The coming reforms also overhaul provisions around the 30-minute break requirement, allowing drivers to use the break-in an on-duty, not-driving status and to use it within their first eight hours of drive time, rather than their first eight hours on-duty. FMCSA said the rule should be published in the Federal Register in the coming week. The changes will become effective 120 days after its publication, so if the rule is published next week drivers could begin operating under the new HOS regs in late September. These are the first changes to hours regs implemented by FMCSA since 2013, though several provisions within that rule (such as the limits on the use of a 34-hour restart) were ultimately reversed by Congress. The coming overhaul will not change the daily 14-hour on-duty limit or the 11-hour drive-time limit. However, the rule will expand the adverse driving conditions provision by allowing drivers to extend both their drive-time window and their time on-duty by two hours if they encounter adverse conditions such as weather or traffic congestion. The agency said the provision will allow drivers to either sit and wait out the conditions or drive slowly through them. Unlike the hour's proposal, FMCSA issued last August, the final hour's reforms do not include the option for drivers to pause their 14-hour clock for up to three hours and go off-duty. FMCSA Acting Administrator Jim Mullen said the agency deemed the seven-hour/three-hour split sufficiently flexible to that end. Also, he said, concerns expressed in the public comment period last fall gave the agency pause in proceeding with the provision as proposed. Lastly, the changes expand the exemptions for short-haul drivers by extending their allowed on-duty period from 12 hours to 14 hours and extending the short-haul radius from 100 air miles to 150 air miles. Drivers under the short-haul exemption aren’t required to keep records of duty status.

The US and Canada are counting on truck drivers to help ensure shelves remain stocked. They are the backbone of the country’s supply chain, traversing our nation’s highways to deliver goods like food, fuel and other vital supplies. And while daily life has slowed to a crawl, this workforce keeps delivering the products and ensuring that that the public’s vital needs are met. Without the trucks, nothing happens. Everything moves by truck in this country, so in order to keep th...e economy rolling, to keep people being fed, the trucks need to move. And as the country’s supply chain faces threats by the effects of the pandemic, truckers are a vital part of keeping the flow of goods delivered on time. The sad thing is that their services are welcomed by businesses, but their basic human needs, including the need to relieve themselves, aren’t being accommodated because of the fears that they will spread COVID-19. #truckdriver #thankatrucker #trucking #logistics #warehousing #supplychain
