The FMCSA's revised Hours of Service (HOS) regulations, particularly the 34-hour restart provision, have sparked controversy within the freight industry. Many argue that these regulations have decreased efficiency and increased costs. This has led to calls for a suspension and re-evaluation of the current HOS rules, with stakeholders seeking a more balanced approach that prioritizes both safety and productivity in freight transportation. The 34-hour restart specifically is seen by some as a hindrance to efficient operations, prompting the need for further analysis and potential modifications.
