- Letter on Hours of Service
The Retail Industry Leaders Association (RILA) greatly appreciates the opportunity to submit written comments to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regarding the agency’s efforts to revise the current hours-of-service rules. While RILA strongly agrees that driver health and safety are of utmost importance, we disagree with the findings that the proposed rules would accomplish this goal. RILA believes that in order to continue positive safety trends and sustainable advancements, the current 11-hour driving limit and 34-hour restart period must be retained.
