Feds Propose 10-hour daily limit!



The Obama adminstration just announced that it is considering the establisbment of a 10-hour driving limit for long haul truckers.

The Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) said yesterday it favors reducing the current 11-hour limit by an hour.

The administration also wants to limit the maximum daily time on duty to (13) thirteen hours instead of 14, allowing for a one-hour break.

The proposed changes are to be published on Dec 29 in the Federal Register. The public will then have 60 days to comment and make suggested changes. Final rules are to be published by July 26, 2011.[image1][summary][/summary]
