Ohio suspends HOS for truckers operating intrastate for COVID-19

[Mike]

Authorities in Ohio have elected to suspend Hours of Service (HOS) regulations in light of the Coronavirus crisis.

On March 13, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio announced that HOS would be suspended for motor carriers providing intrastate transportation of relief supplies — including consumer goods and medical supplies — as part of the Coronavirus/COVID-19 response.

Matters not

All the natterin naybobs gonna bother to notice is “suspends hos”

“But Bart... all them truckers is gonna run renegade”

 

[Rigjockey]

I thought ALL truckers needed to regen/recharge/sleep after a 14 hour window?
The studies that they used when they revamped HOS proved this.
Was the science behind HOS all wrong?
Or does the circadian rhythm cease to exist during an emergency?

Yeah, they fuck truckers every other time unless, they need truckers.

Before you go hog wild, you should read the FMCSA declaration. The categories of freight defined in the order are fairly specific, and "emergency" is mentioned.
