HOS Compliance Guide Updated with Language on 30-Minute Break

Do you have questions about the Hours of Service 30-minute break? Did you know the ready mixed concrete industry now has an exemption from the 30-minute break? Answers, explanations and guidance on these questions and more, are now part of NRMCA’s Compliance Guide for the Federal Drivers' Hours of Service (HOS) regulations. More than 10 years ago, the U.S. Department of Transportation issued revisions to its Hours of Service (HOS) rules which had been in effect and virtually unchanged since 1939. However, shortly after they were adopted, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia voted to throw out the new federal drivers' HOS rules. The rules have been subject to numerous court actions ever since. Do you know how will these rules affect the ready mixed concrete industry? Is your company in compliance? NRMCA's newly updated guide covers the new a mandatory 30-minute break, the July 2013 and December 2014 34-hour restart changes, egregious violations for both company and drivers, and much, much more.
