New changes for 14-h rule, 30-minutes break are taking effects, here is what they look like:
The concern is mostly reflected in the minimal improvements in the rules, and the possibility for shippers , carriers or brokers in pressing drivers, almost exploit, to work longer days, the overhauled hours-of-service rule does give drivers the ability to pause their 14-hour clock for multiple hours a day…
– Changes took effect on September 29th, 12:01 a.m. Eastern, 9:01 p.m. Pacific, Sept. 28 –
It may also sometimes reduce the use of the 30-minute break in any specific working day, or at least be provided in a workable way, since the new regs allow drivers to use the break throughout any duty position other than in-duty driving and changes the condition of the break to be on duty within the first eight hours of driving time rather than the first eight hours.
