SBTC Suggests Its New Exemption Application Lights Fire Under FMCSA to Move Forward with HOS Reform
Last week, the SBTC received the email below from
FMCSA Associate Administrator for Policy Larry Minor,
indicating the FMCSA had no timeline to move forward with HOS Rulemaking...

From: "Minor, Larry (FMCSA)" larry.minor@dot.gov;
Date: Mon, Feb 24, 2020 12:18 pm

Subject: RE: HOS Rule
Mr. Lamb,
We don't have a schedule for announcing the next step in the HOS rulemaking.

Then, on Monday... SBTC filed a new application for exemption
from ELDs and the HOS 11 and 14 hour rules with Secretary Chao...


And the SBTC also advised the Secretary and FMCSA that Hundreds of Drivers
had immediately signed the new petition below over the weekend...


Note: Over 1,600 Drivers have now signed as of this morning.

Then, on Tuesday, FMCSA suddenly announced at the TCA Meeting
in Orlando, it had completed its review of comments and was
magically ready to move forward with HOS Reform...



Now, maybe it was the Pixie Dust in Orlando that did the trick.

Or, maybe... just maybe... it was the SBTC's Advocacy...
