    Unless someone can prove me wrong, as of 11:59pm June 17, 2025 the 30 minute break exemption has expired for permitted loads. This rule was passed in 2015 and extended another 5 years in 2020.

    Looks like last time it was extended about a week after expiring.

    Though that also had a Notice for comments posted in April of 2020. No notice this time. I guess SC&RA didn't reapply for it.

    GSP Motor Carrier guy had never heard of it. Said I was the first person to ever mention it.

    Wrote me up on an inspection even when I showed him the FMCSA website and the paper copy I carry. He said since he had never heard of it he didnt believe me. Company was able to fight it and have it removed.

    Hah! I guess he knows every law in the books. What a tool. I’d probably have cussed him and made him call a supervisor.

    Yeah I’m not sure of the state but I know we absolutely got hammered a few years ago under the same situation. A driver got multiple tickets over multiple days for not taking his 30 min break. Eventually it was overturned but still a huge pain in the ###.

    oh they will ask questions - just not the ones you expect.

    I believe the questions start with “are you out of your F N mind?”
