Is HOS regulations changing?

[Crazynuff]

It amazes me how many drivers I talk to aren't even aware of this . From what I heard and read the 11 hour rule and 34 hour restart become invalid September 14 . So what are companies going to do ? Wait until Friday and tell drivers " By the way , you don't get a restart this weekend ? " Are they going to start checking logs at the scales the next week putting uninformed drivers out of service ?

Here is the confusing part, many states have decided to follow the FMCSA completely without modifications of the regulations that the FMCSA came up with in the first place.

The FMCSA has told everyone to wait until they decide what to do, which is something that they will do at the last minute.

What is confusing is we can't go back to the old HOS because they have been legally superceded by the new HOS which has become invalid due to a procedural matter.

States may elect to say, "ok because the FMCSA has not come up with any regulation changes, we will continue just as we are doing until there are specific changes directly from the FMCSA" - regardless what the courts say - they did not make any state regulations invalid by any means.

To me it is simple, unless there is something from the FMCSA or my carrier with very specific instructions, I can not do anything except run under the 11/34 hour rules.
