After a long, hard battle advocates finally accomplished their goal in having the hours of service for truck drivers changed to the current 14/10 rule with the 34-hour restart thrown in for support. Remember all the news this was making back then? It was going to be so much better for the general public and safety concerns. Entering into effect on October 1st, 2005, the trucking industry began operating under the new rules, which to this day, many drivers still do not agree with. And now . . . change may be coming again. Last July, the court ruled to vacate the current rule and change it BACK to the way it was before! The ruling will not become effective until September 14, 2008. Some parties such as ATA, et al are or will be asking for a stay of the current ruling. If the court does not grant a stay, then on September 14, drivers will be going back to the 10-hour driving rule, and will no longer use the 34-hour restart rule. Rules that will be staying in place are the 14-hour on-duty time, the 10 hours off duty, the 2/8 hours split sleeper berth time and the 60/70 rule. So for now, the trucking industry will have to wait and see. Are we in for another hours of service rule change? It is highly possible. So now, after the professional truckers have gotten used to the new rule from 2005, it appears that we may be heading back to the previous version. I stand behind the old adage as I did in 2005 . . . "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
