ATA to challenge court ruling on HOS
7/25/07

ARLINGTON, Va. -- The American Trucking Associations hopes it will get a stay from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to keep the current rules governing truck drivers work and rest periods in place.

The ATA insists the 11-hour daily driving time limit and the 34-hour restart provisions should be followed until the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration provides the court with explanations for two of the rules provisions.
Yesterday, the U.S. Court of Appeals struck down both those provisions at the behest of public interest group Public Citizen because the FMCSA " "failed to give interested parties an opportunity to comment on the methodology of the crash-risk model used to justify an increase in the maximum number of daily and weekly hours that truck drivers may drive and work."
