The American Transportation Research Institute is surveying truckers on the impacts of Hours of Service (HOS) rules and about detention time for two separate studies.
The first study is a follow up to a report released in November, which stated that more than 65% of drivers reported loss of pay due to HOS regulations. The second study “seeks to evaluate the impact that shippers and receivers may have on truck drivers’ safety, productivity and hours-of-service compliance”.
Hopefully these surveys and studies will result in smarter legislation in the trucking industry.
