Monday, Oct. 1, 2007 – For at least three more months, there won’t be any changes to the hours-of-service regulations and there won’t be any changes to the sleeper-berth provisions this time.
On July 24, the court tossed the provision that increased driving time to 11 hours from 10 hours and the 34-hour restart provision. In that same decision, the court denied a petition by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association consider the impact of changes to the sleeper-berth provision.
The court’s July decision – initially to go into effect Sept. 14 – was held off by petitions by OOIDA and the American Trucking Association.
OOIDA petitioned for a rehearing on its request to review changes to the split-sleeper berth provision and how FMCSA arrived at the final rule. ATA asked that the court’s decision not go into effect for eight months. ATA’s request for a stay was echoed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration – only the agency wanted a 12-month stay.
In an order handed down by the court late Friday, Sept. 28, nobody got their way, really.
OOIDA’s petition for a rehearing was denied and the court’s order will go into effect in three months, not eight months as requested by ATA, or 12 months as requested by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.
