Hours reforms process swirling, ATRI and Trucker Nation push sleep studies to back 14-hour flexibility
ATRI has released results of a study that ATRI says lends strong credence to allowing drivers to break up their 10-hour off-duty period (and, thus, their 14-hour on-duty period) into segments. Likewise, Trucker Nation says it leaned on sleep studies to support its proposal to allow drivers to use the same type of split-sleeper flexibility.

Congress could act to hasten hours of service changes, revive ‘carrier hiring standards’ provision
The amendment would allow FMCSA to proceed directly to issuing a proposed rule on any changes to hours of service regulations, rather than having to publish an Advanced Notice of a Proposed Rulemaking first, as dictated by federal law. If passed, the amendment would be good for two years from the date of enactment of the bill, meaning FMCSA could skip the ANPRM stage for any hours reforms sought in that time frame.

Bill in Congress would allow drivers to pause 14-hour clock for up to three hours
A bill filed in the U.S. House Thursday by Rep. Brian Babin (R-Texas) would allow drivers to take one break per day — of up to three hours — that does not count against their 14-hour on-duty allotment. The bill mirrors a petition filed by the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association last month, calling for a pause button for drivers’ daily 14-hour clock of up to three hours and the removal of the mandatory 30-minute break required by current hours regs.
