FMCSA Announces New Regulations
December 23, 2010
The FMCSA has announced new proposed regulations for hours-of-service.
The 34-hour restart will still be available, but with an additional restriction
requiring that it includes the time from Midnight to 6am on two consecutive days,
and the restart can only be used once per week.
The 11 hour driving period may be reduced to 10 hours, or it may stay at 11 hours.
The old limit on on-duty time is also going to make a comeback, with a 13 hour
limit which effectively requires drivers to take a one-hour break during the
workday.
The Eclipse development team is already working on these new requirements.
Companies that have a subscription in place will be entitled to a no-charge
upgrade as soon as development is complete.
If you do not have a subscription
in place, now is a great time to get one in place so you're covered when
the new regulations go into effect no later than July 2011. Please
