GAO report shows trucker hours-of-service rule is working
Fewer roadway accidents and less driver fatigue are among the results of the the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) hours-of-service (HOS) rules implemented in 2013, according to a report released recently by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO).
The GAO examined the agency’s 2014 study on the hours-of-service (HOS) changes, along with the rule’s assumptions and effects.
