Podcasts about hours of service

Truckers hope the U.S. Department of Transportation will axe some regulations that fail to promote improved safety – and this might happen. Also, rates are at historic lows, so it's more important than ever that truckers learn to negotiate. Then, secondary liability is important to many trucking operations. We'll explain why it's needed. And a new law now on the books in Arkansas is designed to put an end to predatory towing. 0:00 – Regulations: DOT eyes which ones to cut 10:05 – Want to do better?

Tesla's full self-driving feature is in the crosshairs of federal regulators, but an attorney and traffic safety expert worries it may be too little, too late. Plus, NHTSA has begun to examine the way in which states collect crash data – and while that may not sound like a big deal, the end result could factor into the decision-making process for things like side underride guards and more. And finally, observations from the road, from more and more used trucks showing up for sale to cashless tolling and more. 0:00 – Newscast 10:25 – Tesla probe: too little, too late? 25:09 – Lack of uniformity on crash data 40:21 – More and more used trucks up for sale

Also, a Texas program that is designed to turn traffic lights green for trucks in city traffic is expanding to new parts of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Then, how do attorneys handle the situation when a client could be numerous states away from the court? Jeff McConnell and James Mennella of Road Law explain.

   We start the show out with some idiocy that goes on out there on the road and in the docs.This has been one of the busiest weeks for us thus far. I haven't stayed out for more than 3 days in a long time. So it was a little tough on the family as my wife was very busy here at home. You take a walk to go get something to eat which there is nothing close to do so and you drop your trailer in a doc door!!    An owner-op who says that he works 12 to 14 hours per day but still lives out of his truck because he doesn't earn enough. we dive into how deregulation helped lower costs for consumers but created hard times for truckers in the 1980s, and how factors like Electronic Logging Device regulations, long detention times, an aging driver population, and lack of home time are causing driver turnover rates over 100%.Support the show Follow us on facebook and Instagram.

All about Hours of Service Regulations.

As the Engage TA Series gets into the thick of quality of life and "soft" pay improvements, Section 12: Hours of Service, comes into focus. While not sexy, this often-overlooked section adds significant value to pilots who want better quality of life and improved pay treatment for not so friendly scheduling issues such as airport sits, late night arrivals, redeyes, extended duty periods, and the like. Join Engage host First Officer Ryan Argenta, Rich Wheeler of the Negotiating Committee and Shawn Kellett, Scheduling Committee Chairman as they dive into the details of rotation construction improvements, greater optimizer limitations and restrictions, and important day-to-day limitations on rotations and reroutes that will improve pilot quality of life overall.

18WT 063:  So many people see trucking as a great opportunity.  So they go and get trained either paying themselves for a trucking school, or going through a company and having them pay.  Then they get their money back through a 2 year contract typically.Then a few months after training and into their very first otr job, they find out just how difficult truck driving is. Mentally, physically, and emotionally especially if they have family at home.  Let's be honest, kids just don't understand the parent being gone for weeks on end.  And that is how you make the money.Then there is the point of view of the trucking company. These big companies are willing to train the new people to drive, but people wonder why they pay so low to being with.  The reason seems to be that so many new drivers' leave after 6 months of being on their own behind the wheel and being gone from home and learning more about driving and breakdowns, hours of service, split sleeper, and find out that driving is a hard job.They go find jobs driving locally for smaller companies and places like Amazon and UPS.  Then that typically leaves the big company out in the cold with a driver they paid to train, that left the company.  And yes they no doubt send a bill for the schooling.  I bet that is difficult to collect.On the other side you have a few really great companies that pay extremely well and have great benefits.  However, you do not walk into those jobs straight out of school.  You have to do your “time” as they say and pay your dues until you have enough experience to get into those companies.So, after speaking to drivers we have found that not much has changed with truck driving in one aspect, but really if you think about it, so much really has changed. Since trucks started hauling goods.Full podcast show notes available here: https://www.18wheeltalk.com/e63 Instacart - Groceries delivered in as little as 1 hour.

LLN (6/30/22) – Congress is in the process of passing its regular, annual spending bills. But part of that effort involves instructions to various federal agencies – including some important trucking issues, such as hours of service, hair testing and more. Also, you might see more traffic over the long weekend compared with last year. According to AAA, 47.9 million people are expected to travel. We'll hear from a travel expert. And Pennsylvania lawmakers are trying to make it easier for truckers to pay the state's registration fee – but at the same time are preparing to crack down on snow and ice atop vehicles. 0:00 – Newscast. 09:55 – Holiday travel. 24:48 – Hours of service, hair testing and more. 39:21 – Registration fees, snow and ice removal.

For this edition of Overdrive Radio, host Todd Dills is joined by Lee and Lisa Schmitt of Wisconsin. As regular readers may well be aware, Lee's requested as exemption from parts of the hours of service for himself -- it's the first such exemption request for an individual owner we've seen hit the Federal Register and go up for comment, in quite some time, a testament perhaps to the methodical nature of the Schmitts' pursuit of it. It's not like it's particularly difficult, though, to break through the dam, as it were, of the federal regulatory system, as Lisa notes in the podcast. Exemption requests and what's required of them are laid in the regs themselves, in 49 CFR 381.310. Having essentially followed the instructions laid out there, the Schmitts' request was posted to the Federal Register and put up for comment last week, and since then 600 comments have been filed. But there's been some confusion among some in the Overdrive audience about just what Lee Schmitt is asking for here. In a word, flexibility -- to use a daily 11 hours' worth of driving however he sees fit. He asks for exemption from the requirement to take a 10-hour break, from the 14-hour rule daily duty maximum, from the cumulative 60 in 7 days and/or 70 in 8 days duty limitations. But, crucially, not from the 11-hour maximum daily drive time limits, a fact lost on some readers who didn't fully engage with the hours of service exemption request's summary, as Lee notes in the podcast today. Comments on the exemption request are open through July 11: https://www.regulations.gov/docket/FMCSA-2022-0099 Also in today's podcast: We pause to remember owner-operator Troy Huddleston of Illinois, who passed away unexpectedly June 7. He was just 54 years old, and at the Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition this past weekend, owner-operators there who knew him memorialized Huddleston in a few ways, including by placing a signature of Huddleston's, a black Roadworks ball cap, over their hood ornaments. On the podcast we air for listeners recollections of and tributes to owner-operator Huddleston, with several owners Overdrive News Editor Matt Cole caught up with at the event. Catch a video version of the recollections via this link, if you missed it as yet: https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15293098/owneroperators-pay-tribute-to-fellow-owner-friend-troy-huddleston Our sincerest condolences to Huddleston's family.

LLN (3/21/22) – The emergency declaration from FMCSA meant to cope with the pandemic – and its exemptions from the hours of service – sounds broad, but in reality it's very specific. So why are truckers confused? And why do violations keep happening? Also, there are a lot of benefits that come with having a dashcam in your cab. We look at the insurance implications of having one. And the CVSA is having a conference. We'll find out what they're likely to discuss – plus offer an update on towing reform efforts and bills to expand parking and bathroom access for truckers in Washington state. 0:00 – Newscast. 10:14 – Emergency order – what's tripping people up? 24:47 – Dash cams. 39:37 – CVSA conference; towing reform; Washington state parking, bathroom bills.

The “People's Convoy” continues to roll toward the area of the nation's capital, at upward of 100 trucks as of yesterday, with multiple hundreds more personal vehicles as of Thursday, March 3, on a route to Ohio before a final trip into the D.C. area planned for Saturday this weekend. The convoy, as we've noted at Overdrive, has a stated aim of ending the national emergency footing on which the U.S. government has found itself the last two years as it relates to COVID: https://www.overdriveonline.com/life/article/15288864/us-convoy-aims-to-end-national-emergency-covid-declaration Those kinds of emergency declarations bring with them new discretionary funding opportunities for federal agencies to direct to states, the ability to impose restrictions in some instances -– in the U.S. that's primary been seen at the local and state levels when comes to restrictions on travel and gatherings, particularly early on in the pandemic but continuing in some measures today. At the federal level, we've got the cross-border vaccination requirement for non-U.S. citizens coming in, and Canada has imposed that measure for border crossings on U.S. haulers, too. Yet there's more that can come along with an emergency declaration – we see it routinely in the event of a hurricane or other weather-related disaster for relief haulers. Namely, regulatory flexibility. The supply-chain challenges that have continued to shift and in some cases intensify since the beginning of the pandemic prompted the FMCSA to waive certain parts of the hours of service for haulers of a big list of commodities that were being moved in direct-assistance efforts. Those have included the emergency restocking of items as uncommon as emergency medical treatments or as common as basic groceries. With the waiver's extension earlier this week through the end of May, on today's edition of Overdrive Radio we talk with the Trucker Nation group's regulatory affairs lead Andrea Marks about progress on her organization's data-collection effort around independent carriers' use of the hours of service waiver. That collection effort is aimed at providing a base from which to study its connection to bedrock safety metrics. That is, what's the safety record, what's the crash record say about all manner of haulers who've effectively been "self-regulating" lo these two years? The end result might go some way toward further enhancing hours of service flexibility, a subject we take up again in more detail in today's podcast. Listen back to this prior episode for more from Marks on the subject before her independent data-collection started: https://www.overdriveonline.com/overdrive-radio/podcast/15114806/how-the-covid-hours-waiver-could-disentangle-hos-rigidity Further, with People's Convoy growing and the U.S. government in more ways than one signaling a slow return to normalcy as the latest COVID wave subsides, what's the likelihood of a further extension beyond May of parts of this waiver? Take a listen to find out.

LLN (5/27/21) – The FMCSA has extended the pandemic-related emergency waivers for hours of service and CDLs and delayed some changes to the certified medical examiner system. Also, Colorado’s state Senate has give its OK to an effort to spend nearly $4 billion dollars on transportation, while Missouri’s effort to increase fuel taxes could face a challenge at the ballot box.

The most recent update to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's Hours of Service regulations went live September 29, 2020. They were two years in the making, and the changes came only after years of drivers asking for a bit more flexibility in how they manage their time. Did FMCSA get it right this time? To answer that question, we have Jerad Childress of Childress Law PLLC and Truck Safe Consulting along with Chris Woody, the safety manager at M&W Logistics of Nashville. Jerad explains the legal nuances of the changes while Chris shares his real-world perspective.

LLN (2/1/21) – Some truckers are still not clear about the rules that guide them during the COVID-19 pandemic. We’ll go over the rules – and a problem with one state failing to recognize an extension on medical cards. Also, a new administration is settling in in Washington, D.C., and that means there are different issues that truckers are going to need to fight or support. Fortunately, Land Line Magazine has a playbook for such things in its February issue. And significantly heavier trucks could soon be allowed on Indiana roads, with a proposal under consideration by lawmakers. Among those who testified on the issue was a trucker from Indiana. 0:00 – Newscast 9:44 – Pandemic hours of service waivers; medical card extension. 24:37 – New administration, new issues. 39:59 – Truckers tells it like it is in Indiana.

Today's edition of the Overdrive Radio podcast runs through the variety of hours of service issues addressed yesterday in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's third Q&A relative to the changes put in place as of Sept. 29. One particular question addressed a subject we've taken up before -- namely what happens if you need the 14-hour-clock pause value of a berth period to avoid a violation and you're inspected before you can pair that period with another berth period to complete the split. FMCSA Enforcement Director Joe DeLorenzo noted, and he has also said in the past, that officers are trained to the assumption that a second split will be completed, yet are assumptions enough to go on? You can always verbally make clear to an inspector your intentions to split, yet a contemporaneous annotation of any off-duty period you intend to begin a split pair could further underly those intentions, in my view. If you're inspected prior to the next qualifying pair, it would give the officer something other than just your word and his own assumptions to go on. Hear much more about particular situations pertaining the short-haul and adverse conditions exceptions' expansion, the 30-minute break, and the new sleeper splits in this edition.
