We're meeting in Columbus Rivers Edge Convention Center to honor our driver of the month then we will learn from FMCSA's Diane Podany and Kyle Zimmer who will discuss the newest Hours of Service rules while lunch is served. Speakers may appear virtually depending on regulations at the time of the event.
At 12:01 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29 — revised hours-of-service rules went into effect for commercial drivers across the country. The four main FMCSA updates to HOS rules:
Modifies the sleeper berth exception to allow a driver to meet the 10-hour minimum off-duty requirement by spending at least seven hours — rather than at least eight hours — of that period in the berth and a minimum off-duty period of at least 2 hours spent inside or outside of the berth, provided the two periods total at least 10 hours, and that neither qualifying period counts against the 14-hour driving window.
