According to the notice, Schmitt requested exemptions from the provisions involving 10 consecutive hours off duty, the 14-hour driving window, the 30-minute break requirement, and the limits for 60 hours in seven days and 70 hours in eight days.
Schmitt, who is an owner-operator leased to a carrier in Minnesota, is the sole applicant for the exemption request.
“The applicant states that the mandatory 10-hour off-duty break goes against his natural sleep patterns, as his normal nighttime sleep while in the CMV is between 5 to 7 hours,” the FMCSA notice stated.
Comments on the exemption request can be made here or by going to the Regulations.gov website and entering Docket No. FMCSA-2022-0099.
