Commercial truck drivers need greater flexibility within Federal driver work and rest rules to allow drivers to select sleep times and duration based on individual need, according to a study released today by the American Trucking Associations and sleep research firm Circadian International, Inc.
ATA in large part supports the HOS rules implemented by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in 2004. However, ATA believes the rules should provide greater flexibility for both solo and team drivers who utilize sleeper berths.
