Intervention - USA - ATA in hours of service challenge
USA -eTrucker, by Steven Mackay -18 Mar 2006: -- The American Truckers Association (ATA) has filed a motion to intervene on behalf of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in Public Citizen’s latest challenge to FMCSA's hours of service rule... The contested FMCSA rule allows truckers to drive 11 consecutive hours before taking a mandatory 10-hour off-duty break. Before 2004, drivers were allowed to drive 10 hours, but the agency upped the total number of driving hours while increasing the required rest period... Also disputed by the safety groups: the lack of a mandate for electronic onboard recorders and an alleged lack of consideration for drivers’ health... ATA says it will show that the rule advances public safety while meeting the operational needs of the trucking industry...
