Letter on Hours of Service (Joint Trade Association)

On behalf of the undersigned groups, we urge you to maintain the current driver’s hours of service rule in order to promote the productivity, safety and many environmental initiatives of the short haul and intermodal trucking sectors. We believe the proposed changes to the hours of service as outlined in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking have many unintended safety and environmental consequences to the short haul industry and those business and consumers who rely on short haul trucking.
