    Hurricane Ida HOS Exception

    What exactly does this mean for the driver of a straight truck? Help me decipher it. So I can drive to New Orleans and back, in the same day, without worrying about HOS? It’d be a 17 hour trip. It is emergency supplies. Does the same go for ELDs? Will it fry the system? Here’s the link below...

    So It Begins
