ATA Asks DOT to Seek Stay of Hours of Service Ruling


WASHINGTON, D.C. -- ATA President and CEO Bill Graves asked Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters yesterday to push for a stay of the Court of Appeals ruling on Hours of Service regulations, stating there was “no compelling safety reason” to eliminate the two provisions the Court challenged. ATA released a letter from Graves to Secretary Peters at a press conference today at the National Press Club here.

On July 24, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated the 11-hour driving time provision and the 34-hour restart provision of the HOS regulations. The Court’s decision did not say the new rules were unsafe. It said the FMCSA did not follow procedures in approving the new rules.
